School For Social Entrepreneurs (Sse) Australia

The School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) Australia inspires and equips changemakers to establish, scale and sustain social ventures that foster social and economic participation and create a lasting impact within disadvantaged communities. Our vision is a community powering positive changemakers for a more inclusive and sustainable world. We define social entrepreneurs as everyday people with ideas or businesses that deliver a social or community benefit. They are motivated by an unmet need in their community or society more broadly and develop innovative solutions to meet that need. Unlike a traditional school, SSE is non-academic and based on a ‘learning by doing' approach. Students gain practical business and life skills that they can apply directly to their ventures. Our students range in age from 20 to 65 and have diverse backgrounds and ventures. This diversity enables a rich cross–fertilisation of ideas, the creation of collaborative projects, and high levels of peer–learning. SSE Australia is based on the highly successful SSE UK founded in 1997 by serial social entrepreneur Michael Young. In addition to our Australian Schools, there are twelve Schools in the UK, Canada and India with a global network of more than 1, 200 Fellows, including 450 in Australia.
