Participation in SIFE provides university students with the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in their communities, while gaining the experience, skills and contacts necessary to build a successful career. As a member of a SIFE team, you’ll be joining a worldwide network of more than 34,000 other students who are each making their own contribution toward our shared mission of creating a better world.
Gain Real World Experience
The best way to prepare for the real world is by facing real world challenges. That’s exactly the opportunity you’ll have as a SIFE student. This is not a simulation or case study competition. You’ll be challenged to apply what you’re learning in the classroom to develop real programs that achieve real results for real people. SIFE teams teach families how to gain financial security, equip the unemployed with skills to find productive employment, help aspiring entrepreneurs achieve success, and bring economic development back to struggling neighborhoods. Along the way you’ll develop the kind of teamwork, leadership and communication skills that can only come from real life experiences.
