What is Social Entrepreneurship?

Module by: Jordon White. E-mail the author

Summary: What Social Entrepreneurship is.

We want to help other people. And we all need to make a living to provide for ourselves. Social entrepreneurship gives us the opportunity to do both at the same time. Social entrepreneurship uses business ideas and tactics to help those in need. Social entrepreneurship creates businesses that have a social impact for good but also bring a financial return to those who run the business.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
