COMMUNITY

Find Them Friends

Fellows receive lifetime membership to a community of changemakers that continuously support one another in the pursuit of social impact.

MISSION

Our Goal: Explained

SELL builds upon good people to create changemakers.

Good people are people who are passionate about their communities. They want to do something about the systemic problems that our world faces, but might not know the right way to do it.

Changemakers are those whom have created positive social impact for their community. Anyone can be a changemaker, but each one depends on teams of good people to help them do the right thing. They need a fellowship.

VALUES

Our Philosophy

We believe the following are essential to enact positive social impact.

Empathy

For social enterprises, everything is based on people first. The only way to effectively serve people is through an empathy-centric mindset.

Hustle

The road of the social entrepreneur is riddled with obstacles. Fellows topple roadblocks with speed and tenacity, the ingredients of hustle.

Community

Fellows are people who prioritize working together with their community to create magnified impact. An inclusive, open-minded community of changemakers is key to enacting positive social change.

Impact-First

This is the ``why`` behind everything. Thinking in terms of what creates the greatest social impact first is the underpinning of every action SELL Fellows and Board Members take.
