Each year, a select group of graduate students in our social venture accelerator, the Changemaker Institute (CI), work tirelessly in the evenings and on weekends to propel their idea for social change into a viable and sustainable social enterprise. A core component of the program is inviting key community leaders and social entrepreneurs in New Orleans to lead CI workshops and help students build out their ideas.
