A head for business. A heart for the world.
Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) is the world's preeminent collegiate free enterprise organization. SIFE provides leadership training, regional competitions and career opportunity fairs for thousands of college students throughout 33 countries, and awards more than $400,000 in prize money to college student teams each year.
That's why more than 185 top corporate executives sit on the SIFE Board of Directors. Inspired by the energy, passion and healthy idealism SIFE students possess, they are business people and community leaders who champion the ideas that hard work pays, free markets work, democracy leads to prosperity and freedom brings social responsibility.
There comes a point in your life when you want to help others as much as you want to help yourself. You take satisfaction in giving the same opportunities you had to others, and pride in being part of a global effort that helps to prepare the next generation of leaders.
SIFE needs your help to provide resources for teams to continue to grow and prosper throughout the world. SIFE students are re-igniting entrepreneurial enthusiasm, exciting youngsters about technology, expanding educational opportunities, helping to conquer the digital divide, teaching responsible personal finance and filling the leadership pipeline. It's an effort worthy of your time and financial contribution. There are plenty of opportunities for you to support SIFE. You can get involved by serving on a SIFE Team Business Advisory Board, or as a judge at an exposition, by donating time or money and by joining SIFE's prestigious Board of Directors.
