social entrepreneur in my life

After the social entreprenurship class, I am interested in doing volunteer work and helping others. When I went online and search for relevant information, I found a report about a national organization, the Canadian Social Entrepreneurship Foundation, and its recent cooperation with a SFU club. Even though the program has just been launched, it sounded very promising. In UBC, there is a simliar group called entrepreneurship@UBC Fund. Yet, UBC’s Fund combined the normal entrepreneurship with social entrepreneurship. This way, people may get confused and may not pay attention to the club. As we learned in class, branding is really important. I suggest that they can separate the two and establish individual clubs in order to run them more successfully.

BC has lots of successful entrepreneurs. In class, the profs always teach us about ethical. Therefore, when a businessman has talents in using limited sources and money to achieve his goal, he should always contribute the society by using his talent to help others.
The SFU program provides successful social entrepreneurs mentors to guide the young people to achieve their goals. I wonder if UBC can provide a simliar opportunities for students to do such meaningful activities. =)
