Why apply?!

SEA Change is a social enterprise training program that cares about the well being of our communities. We help social entrepreneurs reach more people in a meaningful way, and support entrepreneurs in becoming a part of their local social impact ecosystem by helping them: 

  • Develop a sustainable business model

  • Solidify their meaningful social impact, and

  • Access funding (when possible) 

Our primary focus is on start and early-stage scale organizations. We recognize there’s a need for support even when an idea is not fully formed and vetted, and often a gap in the ecosystem at this stage. After participating in our programming entrepreneurs have a clear path forward.

Our team values fun, honesty, learning, integrity, customer service, and we work as one team. We do what we say we're going to do, when we say we're going to do it.

If all of this sounds up your alley… apply now!
