| Social Entrepreneurship focuses on acting as a change agent for society by finding ways to help entire communities to take new leaps (Ashoka, 2009; PBS, 2009). Because of the legacy of Social Entrepreneurs such as Sylvester Broome, Flyod McCree, Ms. Deloney E. Hill, Dr. Nathaniel Burtley, and many others, Flint continues to be a forerunner in the development of Social Entrepreneurs locally and nationally.
On August 21, 2009 from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, YOUR Center and C.B.O.P. will be hosting a Social Entrepreneurship Conference at the Urban League of Flint (Clio Rd and Pierson Rd). The primary population is individuals 12 – 17 and the secondary population being individuals 18 and older.
Some of the workshops that have been identified and have a confirmed presenter are listed below.
- Robotics and Embedded Programming
- Fundamentals of Video Game Development
- Civil Engineering and the Green Industry
- Understanding how your child learns
- Stress Management for Life-Long Success
