We believe everyone has the capacity to be remarkable. We empower people to create change in their communities and improve the lives of others.
We support social entrepreneurs: people who start, scale and sustain organisations to tackle social problems. We help them impact urgent issues, including poverty, health, education and the environment.
Thousands of social entrepreneurs and social-sector leaders benefit from our courses and support. We develop their impact, networks, business skills and emotional resourcefulness. We use an innovative learning approach that focuses on action and peer-support. We build diverse connections between people that last. Our community welcomes people from all backgrounds.
Michael Young founded School for Social Entrepreneurs in 1997 in London. Today, our network of schools impacts communities across the UK, Canada and India. We support individuals on a learning journey, creating social change together.
