Description
How could a student cold-calling firms as part of a dare lead to securing venture capitalist funding? How could a small observation at the airport lead to the formation of a business dedicated to assisting the disabled? How could boredom in class lead to collaboration with the government to redesign public educational curricula? Over 50% of high schoolers volunteer, and 72% want to start a business some day. Yet students often miss out on the value of looking at social entrepreneurship - the intersection of forming a business and positively contributing to their community. In her book, Emily Yuan tackles the important elements of entrepreneurship through stories of students who changed the world by capitalizing on their passion and abilities. She answers the questions held by students who have the drive to create change but not the knowledge of how to take the next step like: - What does it take to start a company? - Will I be able to create a start-up while still in school? - How do social ventures differ from traditional start-ups? Beyond a Bake Sale inspires students to understand power of social entrepreneurship and how young people can create impact through business.
