“Participating in the Global Social Innovation Challenge (GSIC) helped me take an idea and turn it into a fully developed business. The support, ideas, and mentorship of the GSIC really helped us turn our idea into something tangible.”– 2017 student participant

Create a viable business plan based on a new potential solution that can address these gaps.
Pitch their venture to a panel of judges for up to $50,000 in funding and other resources.
Gain invaluable entrepreneurial experience, mentoring, and network connections to propel their changemaking journey to the next level.
