"One of the best parts about MEP is how it showed us students that we had many things in common with each other. With some of the activities, we learned our values, interests, and challenges as a class ... Additionally, our work pulled from our personal experiences, and we then discussed them to ultimately develop how we wanted to respond to our issue. Once we had an idea of what we wanted to achieve, we could then put our efforts into creating a solution."

"Two of my students were lucky enough to get a spot in the Meaningful Entrepreneurship Program last summer. Both found it very meaningful and confirmed for them what they wanted to major in college! If your student is lucky enough to land a spot, I highly recommend this program."

"The Meaningful Entrepreneurship Program developed my students’ leadership skills and created life-lasting connections! My students shared in their college essays how they grew from this experience. This program builds essential problem-solving skills that will be valued later in college life."
