Our goal at the Social Ventures Zone is simple: give extraordinary individuals and teams access to the resources they need to create innovative projects and ventures that will have a positive impact on our local and global communities. Cultivating zone participants’ drive, energy and determination to create change, the SocialVentures Zone supports students and alumni who want to discover their passions, accelerate their ideas for social change, and take their ideas to the next level by developing them into sustainable and viable initiatives. We support individuals and teams directly. Investing in social entrepreneurs’ journeys creates long lasting impact. The Social Ventures Zone is part of Toronto Metropolitan University's (formerly Ryerson University) thriving multidisciplinary innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, which was designated by the Ashoka Foundation as Canada’s first “Changemaker Campus,” where social innovation extends across research, classroom and student activities.
