Description:
SIFE:
Founded in 1975, Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) has grown to become one of the largest tertiary-based organizations in the world. SIFE teams are active in more than 40 countries around the world. You can always visit www.sife.org to find a complete list of the countries that operate a SIFE program as well as the institutions enrolled. Working together as a team, and through the mentorship of a faculty advisor(s), SIFE students apply their classroom experiences to develop and implement educational outreach programs that teach individuals in their communities the principles of market economics, success skills, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, environmental sustainability and business ethics. The challenge to SIFE teams is not simply to inform, but to empower – to help their targeted audiences reach their full potential through a better understanding of the principles of free enterprise. Individually, SIFE teams are improving the quality of life and standard of living for members of their communities. Collectively, the focused effort of hundreds of SIFE teams and the thousands of faculty, students, and supporting community leaders driving these teams, have created a positive and sweeping force for change that impacts the lives of millions. Through this model, SIFE is empowering university students to make a difference today while realizing the full potential they have to create a better world as the entrepreneurs and business leaders of tomorrow. As these students succeed in helping others, a powerful and lasting transformation takes place within them. They develop sharpened leadership and business skills, but just as importantly, they form a deeper sense of commitment to the community and world around them - and their knowledge of just how far-reaching their influence as leaders can be. SIFE sets the stage for life-changing business leadership experiences that are equipping the new generation of leaders with knowledge and skills to develop more sustainable enterprises, stronger communities and a world with greater opportunities for everyone.

SIFE Alexandria University:
Founded in 2008, SIFE ALEX has to take its place as the first official student activity at Alexandria University in spreading a professional volunteerism culture between the Alexandrian youth. A mission has been developed to spread that vision, which represented in “Creating meaningful opportunities for learning and exchange among the participants as well as the placement of students and alumni with companies in search of emerging talent”.
