Entrepreneurs for Good: Launching Student-Run Social Enterprises
Help me give my students become changemakers by launching student-led mini businesses that support social causes through creativity, marketing, and entrepreneurship.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
This project will empower students to become social entrepreneurs—young business leaders who use their talents not just for profit, but for purpose.
By funding this project, you’ll help students launch real mini-businesses with social impact—teaching them how entrepreneurship can solve problems and serve communities.
Each student or team will identify a social cause that matters to them, then create and run a small business that raises awareness or funds to support it. Causes may include mental health, homelessness, bullying prevention, or environmental issues. Students will go through the full entrepreneurial process:
Brainstorming business ideas
Developing a product or service
Creating marketing materials and branding
Launching a pop-up shop or event
Donating proceeds or raising awareness
This hands-on, real-world experience builds their business, marketing, budgeting, and leadership skills—while helping others.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
