Some people like drama, art or debate club. But what if you want something more hands-on, something that could change the world? If that sounds more up your alley, then you should consider a social entrepreneurship organization. Social entrepreneurship organizations allow you to get hands-on experience in important skills, all while learning what it takes to start your own business and be successful later on in life.
Here are some great organizations that help build the skills of creativity, resourcefulness, and problem-solving necessary to be a social entrepreneur:
- VentureLab Entrepreneur Club – Though we certainly have entrepreneurship programs here at the VentureLab headquarters, you can also start your own entrepreneurship program at your school. Focus on tech or gaming, recycling or design – the options are endless.
- Technology Student Association – TSA is another great option for learning about technology and entrepreneurship in school. This organization focuses on encouraging kids to learn leadership skills, apply STEM concepts through hands-on activities, and learn to reach their goals.
- Destination Imagination – A project-based program, Destination Imagination encourages students to use their imaginations to create things, solve problems and change the world. It’s a hands-on, competitive group that’s a blast to be a part of.
- Odyssey of the Mind – Another organization like Destination Imagination, OM teaches creative problem solving to all ages. Students work with everything from mechanics and engineering to English and geography.
