This unit in Social Entrepreneurship, we learned about entrepreneurship and what it means to be a social entrepreneur. An entrepreneur comes from the French word entre and pendre, the words together mean to "put on your plate" An entrepreneur is someone who and undertakes endeavors, a social entrepreneur goes out and does things that are good for society. During this course, we spoke and went out to a variety of companies and businesses to understand the process of creating a business and what goes into that creation. One Field Experience that I really enjoyed going on, was 826Chicago. 826Chicago is a non-profit organization that offers tutoring and educational workshops for the youth, they fund these programs by having a spy-themed shop that brings in 17% of their revenue. The purpose of this Action Project is to create a business and describe the elements of your company in a business plan. This was one of my favorite Action Projects that I've done here at GCE because I plan to create my own business in the future and this helped me understand the process and logistics of creating it.
Below is my Business Plan, enjoy!
