At College for Social Innovation, we strive to educate and inspire the next generation of problem-solvers.

We need millions of these new leaders, ranging from social entrepreneurs to social workers, and they need to be oriented toward justice and adept at the 21st-century skills of communication, data-based management, interpersonal relations, and innovative problem-solving.

Semester in the City:
Much more than an internship.

So how do we develop more of these problem solvers and ensure they represent the diversity of America?

We do this through our program, Semester in the City, where we connect college students with social impact sector organizations, while working with their colleges to ensure they receive a full semester worth of credit.
