Although some resources from StartingBloc (www.startingbloc.org) are limited to those who have gone through the 5 day Institute program, I think it's OK to share some info on events from the latest StartingBloc newsletter that are useful if you're applying to grad schools or want to learn more about internship/job opportunities in business-driven social impact and social enterprise startups. Towards that end, see below!
Happy connecting,
Katharine
