SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) is a global non-profit organization active in over 40 countries and territories. SIFE is funded by financial contributions from corporations, entrepreneurs, foundations, government agencies and individuals. Working in partnership with business and higher education, 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 Safe's four educational topics:
- Market Economics
- Entrepreneurship
- Personal Success Skills
- Business Ethics
- Financial Skills
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 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. For more information visit SIFE World Headquarters.
