Jesuit Centre for Social Entrepreneurship

the jesuit centre for social entrepreneurship (jcse) is an initiative of the cardoner project, a social enterprise and youth volunteering hub that supports partner organisations around the world, helping excluded groups, predominantly within the jesuit network. the social impact we are seeking to achieve through the centre is to improve social inclusion and economic outcomes for disadvantaged and poor communities by developing and supporting social entrepreneurs and enterprises to become investment ready and nancially sustainable. our vision is that the centre will become a hub for students, graduates, mentors, and aligned groups to share best practice ideas about social innovation, and to incubate and accelerate businesses for social impact. it will have a distinctively jesuit and catholic approach. central to achieving this vision will be the education and mentoring of disadvantaged young people, especially refugees, in the incubation and acceleration of their own enterprises, by
