Concordia will host Rachel Sumekh of Swipe Out Hunger as part of the YPWeek 2020 events.
Social entrepreneurship is defined as, “an approach by companies and entrepreneurs, in which they develop, fund and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues.”
Today, over 90% of young professionals want to use their talents in a way that will affect positive change. While money is always a determining factor when seeking a new role, young entrepreneurs and job seekers are increasingly putting passion over profit.
Come check out the Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center at Concordia University and hear stories of young people who have decided to become social impact entrepreneurs!

We provide both commonsense and innovative solutions to campus hunger including our flagship program, “The Swipe Drive,” where students with extra dining hall meal swipes can donate them to their peers. Rachel Sumekh’s work with the organization has been recognized by The Obama White House, The New York Times and landed her on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list.
