PROJECT ACCELERATORS

 

Developed through collaboration with corporate and organizational partners, Project Accelerators provide Enactus teams with the opportunity to apply to receive funding and/or mentorship to support the development of projects focused on a specific need or community group. 

Through this programmatic platform, students are empowered to deliver innovative and effective programs. For the partnering company, it provides an opportunity to mobilize emerging leaders to tackle one of their community priorities while fostering relationships with enterprising youth. 

If you are interested in becoming a corporate partner and/or establishing a Project Accelerator, please contact brittany@enactus.ca
