Groundswell is a training network of young people starting alternatives-to-business together, and recreating the economy based on values of community and social impact. My role as social venture mentor is to help social entrepreneurs validate and refine their venture concepts, introduce them to others in Vancouver and elsewhere with resources or knowledge relevant to their goals, and assist in the design and delivery of curriculum relating to social enterprise, non-profit and small business through a lens of social innovation and social impact.
