Abstract
As the concept of social entrepreneurship (SE) gains popularity worldwide, it has raised
interest among scholars to study this socially embedded entrepreneurial phenomenon.
This article attempts to shed light on how SE is defined and what it takes to become a
social entrepreneur through an analysis of the impact on college students after engaging
in social service-learning activities. Through social entrepreneurship projects for the local
community or people in the Philippines, Cambodia, and Mexico, this article sought to elicit
whether engaging students in activities centered on a social mission might help create a
mindset that would prepare them to become future social entrepreneurs.
