Income, Employment & Education: Social Enterprise
Social enterprises are social mission driven organizations which trade in goods or services for a social purpose. They are non-profit businesses that attempt to create improved social outcomes and financial self-sufficiency by employing people outside the economic mainstream. Social enterprises can give people who are otherwise marginalized, important job training and, in some cases, permanent jobs. They can be built around many different types of goods or services, such as: print shops, courier services, restaurants, crafts, thrift stores, artwork, etc.
