Seeking Young Social Entreprenuers to Change the World!

Staples Foundation for Learning, a private foundation created by Staples, Inc. and Ashoka have announced the third annual Youth Social Entrepreneur Competition. The competition rewards positive action from youth by asking those 12-24 to share stories about how they have initiated solving a social ill in their community.

Ashoka empowers men and women to solve the world’s most urgent social problems and through their Youth Venture program they "enable young people to learn early on in life that they can lead social change."

We like this partnership because there is so much to be learned from engaging in your community. Well done Staples and Ashoka! And youth, go for it, you can make a difference now (And even win $5000 in the process!).
