Volunteers & Sponsors
Global Social Entrepreneurship Competition at the UW Foster School of Business unites the business, non-profit and academic sectors in learning about and supporting innovative and financially feasible solutions to global poverty.
GSEC volunteers and sponsors are a powerful and sustaining thread to the GSEC program: they directly impact young entrepreneurs from around the world and contribute to the growing field of social entrepreneurship overall.
From the advice and involvement of a wide base of knowledgeable contributors, GSEC student participants increase their global awareness and develop their understanding of how to take a business plan from inception to implementation.
Each year GSEC engages with over 400 professionals across sectors committed to innovative business solutions to global poverty. Contact gsec@uw.edu to learn how you can contribute as a mentor, judge, or sponsor.
