Eating for Change
If you've heard the term "social entrepreneur" at all, it's likely been applied to people and projects outside the United States, like the microfinance visionary Mohammad Yunus. You may be surprised that there are social entrepreneurs using innovative projects to address pressing social problems right here in the U.S. of A. For example, meet Denise Cerreta of Utah who runs One World Café.
Cerreta is a social entrepreneur who developed the idea for One World Café—a restaurant that serves tasty, organic food to the hungry, eliminates waste in the food industry and pays employees a living wage. In this video interview posted on YouTube, Cerreta talks about how she is expanding the OneWorld café model to other cities around the country. Inventing a program that is replicable to other communities is a hallmark of social enterprises.
