About

Our mission is to ignite a national movement of young social entrepreneurs who align people, planet & profit.

Now two years in the making, YSEC was founded by a group of 20-somethings whose experiences as community organizers made it crystal clear that something needed to change. We saw young people in the social sector squeezed by huge expectations but sparse resources: no professional guidance, business education, access to funding, lack of credibility, and the list goes on.

YSEC is our response. It is a front-door to the social sector – a hub for connections, education and support of young people in social enterprise. It is also a challenge to all of us to become more entrepreneurial about meeting needs, more skilled as organizational managers, and more innovative in our approaches.
