The School for Social Entrepreneurs opens in March 2012 in Otahuhu, Auckland. At it’s core, the vision of the school is:
“For all New Zealand communities, particularly those experiencing significant disadvantage, to have the capacity to find and grow solutions to their own social and economic challenges.”

The school aims to support early-stage social entrepreneurs to build sustainable new social enterprises, social businesses and non-profit ventures. The School is seeking to identify 15 social entrepreneurs to become the first cohort of the 10 month Action Learning Programme (ALP), from March to November 2012, which is designed to accelerate and enhance their respective impact on their communities.

Most students will see the majority of their costs supported by scholarship, however the total cost of the course without scholarship support is $15,000.
