WHO WE ARE
OUR VISION
Young leaders everywhere use innovation and business skills to ensure that all people thrive in a sustainable world.
OUR MISSION
Enactus is a network of leaders committed to using business as a catalyst for positive social and environmental impact. We educate, inspire, and support young people to use innovation and entrepreneurship to solve the world’s biggest problems.
For nearly 50 years, Enactus has educated young people around the world how to use innovation and entrepreneurship to solve the world’s most pressing problems. Long before notions of corporate social responsibility, stakeholder capitalism, or environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting hit the mainstream, Enactus trained young people to use business as a force for good.
Originally founded in 1975 as a U.S. nonprofit organization, Enactus expanded in 1995 and now operates as a locally-rooted, globally informed network across 6 continents.
Today, through our team-based, experiential learning approach, young people learn the skills needed for the future of work in every sector. Each Enactus student team then uses what they learn to launch an entrepreneurial initiative that makes positive social and environmental impact. Our shared values of integrity, passion, innovation, and collaboration drive their work.
Since our founding, Enactus students have created more than 75,000 projects and businesses, benefiting millions of people.
