HOW TO START   What are your interests and passions?   What are your skills? What are you

good at doing?   What problems exist in your school or

community?   What groups of people in your

community need help or support?   Think creatively about how you can

use your hobbies, skills, interests, and passions to respond to a need, a problem, or an opportunity to create change.

“Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish, or teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry.”
