Miller Center recently welcomed 14 social entrepreneurs to our alumni community. These extraordinary entrepreneurs participated in the 2020 Pathways Out of Poverty US Accelerator, a collaboration between Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship and Catholic Charities USA. It’s been a humbling and rewarding experience to see how these entrepreneurs are tackling difficult challenges, and are doing so in spite of the disruptions related to COVID-19. If you’re in need of some inspiration, check out our YouTube playlist with their final presentations. You’ll hear their incredible stories and the impact they are having on affordable housing, nutrition, job training, and workforce development — each of them helping to improve economic livelihoods and creating a path toward self-sufficiency for poor, underserved, or vulnerable communities within the United States.
