ENACTUS
Enactus is an internationally recognized nonprofit organization that promotes partnership between leaders in business and university students to make a difference in their local communities. We offer university credit through our Gubbio Leadership Program.
Enactus, formerly known as Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) bonds teams of students together that gain leadership perspective, teamwork skills and entrepreneurial mindsets, to design and execute legacy projects.
Each January we take the Gubbio students on an entrepreneurial service trip to the Bahamas. This student-run trip includes business consulting, work with elementary schools, technology expos and Special Olympics programs. Our work has included:
- Teaching 1,800 schoolchildren the essentials of entrepreneurship, global economics, financial literacy and values
- Running after-school programs focusing on technology
- Conducting evening computer classes for working adults
- Installing two computer labs
- Painting a entire school building
- Assisting in rehabbing a building into a state-of-the-art distance education/recreation center that is the center of the Pinder’s Point Economic Development Zone
Open to students from all majors, Enactus focuses on economic empowerment and education.
