A social enterprise is a business with social goals that sells products/services in the marketplace and reinvests its profits into its goals. It can be an interesting model for a non-profit to use, one which comes with its own unique challenges and benefits.
Participants in this workshop will come away with a deeper understanding of what a social enterprise is. They will also:
- Learn about the opportunities for social enterprise.
- Understand the risks and challenges.
- Gain tools to help assess if it would work for their non-profit.
- Find out about resources to support social enterprises.
Cost: $30 per person (tax included) Duration: 1/2 day
This workshop is facilitated by Wendy Keats and Amanda Hachey, of the Co-operative Enterprise Council of NB (CECNB), who together have over 40 years of experience in the non-profit community. Learn more about these engaging facilitators.
