Everyday around the world entrepreneurs create a change by following their dreams. Everyone has this entrepreneur side to himself or herself; however, due to a variety of circumstances, sometimes it becomes hard to learn the tools necessary to make this difference. Learning about the Arc Initiative gives a sense of pride; fellow Sauder students are sharing their knowledge of business to give others a chance to make something of their individual passions. Members of the Arc Initiative can fall under the bigger picture of Social Entrepreneurs. Social Entrepreneurs “pave avenues of opportunity for those who would, otherwise, be locked into lives without hope” (SkollWorldForum).

Addressing the topic, if the United Nations were fully funded, the need for the Arc or Social enterprises would not decrease. United Nations works by providing relief to communities and people who need it. The Arc Initiative and Social Entrepreneurs work by empowering people to learn the tools that will allow them to succeed. As these initiatives continue to enable people all over the world a difference is being made which is allowing for future innovators to see these actions and make a difference themselves.
