Your mission as a community leader:

Your mission as a Community Leader is to identify a problem impacting your community, and work with your team to create a business plan tackling that problem.

• The problem can be something impacting your school, your neighborhood, or your city / state. Examples include: access to education, pollution, transit, food sustainability, homelessness, internet access, and more.

• Your business can be a for-profit social enterprise, or non-profit.

• Your team will be from both the US & China—you’ll need to collaborate across time zones, cultural differences, and language barriers to achieve your goal.
