The Philippine Social Entrepreneurship Club initiated by the Ateneo de Manila University’s School of Government and the Ateneo Center for Social Entrepreneurship will stand as a learning and support group of social entrepreneurship practitioners, advocates, and supporters in the Philippines. It will be a venue for members of the club to learn from each other about the evolving principles and concepts behind social entrepreneurship, share practical ideas from the ground, discover new insights about a wide array of topics from experts in various fields that will help them develop and improve ideas for social entrepreneurship, and render different forms of support especially for the ones initiating or are currently running their social enterprises.

The club is open to any Filipino who is interested in learning more about social entrepreneurship. It also encourages those who have started or are currently running social enterprises in the Philippines to join.
