So exactly where does one go to learn how to change the world? Really, anywhere in the world he or she chooses.

There are several opportunities to learn about Social Entrepreneurship by finding and filling needs in your own neighborhood.

SE Education is more about being in action and creating results as opposed to simply passively hoping some great guru will come along and teach you something.

In all reality, the world doesn’t need “changing” because there is nothing “wrong” or “right” about it. The world just is…period. As a SE your work is to assist others in find opportunities that allow them to fulfill on the dreams, goals, and desires that are most important to them.

Now, this may mean assisting or supporting others in an effort to do some things differently. However, this is not about changing them or their life, or the world, it is simply about being present to support the natural growth and development of humanity.

I’ve seen many people profess to be SEers but they are only out to fight against something they don’t agree with (again nothing “wrong” here). However, there power is  limited to their anger or frustration.

Full power, self-expression and freedom become available when the  mind and heart are  set upon being in the action of allowing  one’s natural goodness to unfold in a way that adds value to your life and lives of others.

You may look for opportunities to make a difference in many ways. You may travel the world, pay close attention to current events, attend seminars, participate in personal development programs or attending a major university.

The key is to find a need and fill it in true win-win-win fashion. The people you serve win, you win, and the world as a whole wins.

The list below will give you an idea of some of the schools that provide social entrepreneurial education. CAUTION: If you’re serious about making a difference consider the avenues above before you mortgage you future at a major school.

Noting wrong with school, I strongly believe in education, and even hold a Master’s degree. However, I’ve seen it used as a hideout and an excuse for inaction.  If you see a need that can be filled now.  Get to work!

There is no need to procrastinate your greatness.

Nevertheless, the schools below all offer Social Entrepreneurship programs. Visit their sites, visit the campuses, call admissions and let me know what you you liked or disliked. I’m eager to learn about your experience.
