Community Impact Start-ups:

This course introduces the idea of developing a mission-driven social enterprise that addresses some social problem or unfulfilled social need at the community level. The goal is to create meaningful change or impact that unites and connects the community while improving the quality of life of its residents. 

Positive change can happen through redevelopment and renovation projects such as housing and parks. It can also come in the form of revitalization and reinvestment in neighborhoods and businesses, and through after school youth programs and neighborhood beautification initiatives.

In addition, leveraging local knowledge and resources helps to establish and implement these objectives so social as well as financial growth opportunities can develop. Students will be placed in teams to develop a community-based business model that provides for lasting positive impact with the overriding social theme: help build a better place for a better tomorrow.
