The Change Course is a socially conscious, for-profit enterprise founded in 2012 by pioneer social entrepreneur Dan Pallotta. The Change Course hosts two-day "bootcamp" course with up to 200 participants that aim to revive inspiration and help establish the right path for you in the social sector.
Change Course's says it's bootcamp is for "idealists, activists, social entrepreneurs and anyone exploring how to make a good living and a big difference," while they also maintain their material is fresh and universal, for graduate students to experienced professionals.
The Change Course bases its materials on what it calls contemporary, real-world experience that is "more street than college."
The Change Course is currently accepting registration for its upcoming Boston Bootcamp event, and plans to bring the course across America in 2013.
