Social Innovators in Training
Students in the Social Innovators in Training (SIIT) Program work with like-minded innovators interested in creating social or environmental change through their own project or venture. Students coming into this program have a problem they are interested in tackling or an idea they want to launch. Innovations can include policy change, community mobilization initiatives and the creation of programs, products, and services, and more.
The program provides a weekly peer group training session focused on key milestones in both problem and solution identification and validation. Students have access to one-on-one coaching and a GreenHouse alumni circle, as well as the Social Impact Fund to move their project or venture forward.
