SIFE - AN AWESOME OPPORTUNITY FOR BUDDING ENTREPRENEURS

SIFE is a global non-profit organization active in more than 40 countries. SIFE works with the business community and universities to establish student teams on college campuses. These teams are led by faculty advisors and they are challenged to develop a community outreach project (a businesses) that reach SIFE's five educational topics:

• Market Economics
• Success Skills
• Entrepreneurship
• Financial Literacy
• Business Ethics

As a SIFE team member you use your personal experiences, the expertise of your faculty advisors, the support of your local business advisory boards, and the resources of your university to implement programs that create real economic opportunities for members of your community.

The effectiveness of your program is judged at competition. Each national SIFE organization conducts a national competition, which is judged by leaders from its business community. At competition, SIFE teams present the results of their educational outreach project (their business) and compete to determine which team was most successful at creating economic opportunity for others. SIFE National Champion teams advance to the top level of competition, the SIFE World Cup.

If you're looking for experience in entrepreneurship, ask your Student Activities office if a SIFE program exists on your campus. If not, get in touch with SIFE through their website and they will help you start a SIFE program on your campus!
