Civic Life Today: Social Entrepreneur

Innovating to solve society's toughest challenges.

In This Issue

This issue of Civic Life Today examines the work and world of social entrepreneurs. Social entrepreneurs get to the root of causes; they identify a need that has not been met by traditional structures and then work to solve it. In this issue, we explore who social entrepreneurs are, how they work, how everyday individuals can support their efforts and more.
