Students
in Free Enterprise
SIFE is a global, non-profit organization that is literally
changing the world through highly dedicated student teams
on more than 1400 university campuses in 33 countries. SIFE
establishes student teams on university campuses. These teams
are led by faculty advisors and they are challenged to develop
community outreach projects that reach SIFE's five educational
topics:
• Market Economics
• Success Skills
• Entrepreneurship
• Financial Literacy
• Business Ethics
SIFE team members leverage their personal educational experiences,
the expertise of their faculty advisors, the support of their
local business advisory boards, and the resources of their
institutions to implement programs that create real economic
opportunities for members of their communities. The effectiveness
of their programs is judged at competition. Each national
SIFE organization conducts a national competition, which is
judged by leaders from its business community. At competition,
SIFE teams present the results of their educational outreach
projects and compete to determine which team was most successful
at creating economic opportunity for others. SIFE National
Champion teams advance to the top level of competition, the
SIFE World Cup.
Students in Free Enterprise is a great way to get a feel for
the business world. It creates a testing ground for aspiring
students to develop business theories and practices, while
experimenting with the applications of their own ideas. Many
opportunities to learn present themselves. The networks of
today's business leaders that are active with SIFE become
available to SIFE students. SIFE's mission is to provide college
students the best opportunity to make a difference and to
develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills through
learning, practicing, and teaching the principles of enterprise.
The SIFE team meets once a week, while individual committees
meet more frequently. Students of all disciplines, whether
it is education or business, meet to discuss their ideas about
free enterprise.
