Cool! But what's my guarantee?
We're going to do everything in our power to help you be a successful social entrepreneur and it's going to demand a lot of work from you. If, in the end, you pour your heart into this and don’t feel like you get significant return on every dollar you put in, tell us what you thought it was actually worth and we’ll refund the difference. All the way down to zero.
With all the free resources out there, why pay to join The School?
Good point. In fact, with our podcast, blog, and video content, Social Change Nation is one of the largest hubs featuring free content for startup social entrepreneurs. This will always be part of our mission as the toolbox for those working to make a dollar AND a difference.
But we always knew there was a group at Social Change Nation that wanted more. That's why we took it to the next level by offering The School of Social Entrepreneurship. There is simply nowhere else that you'll find such a high caliber group of startup social entrepreneurs working together to spark change. By joining The School, you'll be dramatically shortening your journey from where you are to where you want to be. You'll grow with a small group of fellow students who are equally as devoted to profit AND purpose. You'll get access to world class mentorship. And you'll take the very important step of investing in yourself and your business.
Lastly, we've noticed something here at SCN... the students that invest the time, resources, and energy into a focused program are the ones who succeed. Whether you choose to join The School or another program you will inevitably need to choose to sacrifice in order to win.
How much interaction do I get with the mentors?
Quite a bit! We have great relationships with our mentors - all of whom are veteran social entrepreneurs. As you have industry specific questions, we'll be able to take them to our mentors on your behalf. The mentors often appear in our private Facebook group too. Lastly, you'll get direct instruction from many of them via our course videos.
How long before I'll start seeing results from The School?
We focus on getting you the basic tools for making a dollar AND a difference within 3 months. As long as you're watching the videos, doing your homework, interacting on the Facebook group and taking advantage of office hours, you will see significant traction in that amount of time.
Beyond your initial 3 months, The School will be greatly helpful as you workshop new challenges and need new connections while growing your venture.
Where will my fellow classmates be from and what kinds of businesses are they starting?
We have students from all over the world working in industries ranging from socially conscious fashion to tech for good. No matter the industry though, you'll find that all social entrepreneurs have a great deal in common.
What if I don't yet have an idea for the business I want to start?
That's okay! The School will help you with that too. As long as you know you want to start a venture that makes a dollar AND a difference we'll be able to walk you through the idea crafting stage!
