ABOUT US

Pangaea’s mission is to reach out and unleash the energies of people who can transform the world in which they live. We call these people social entrepreneurs.
Pangaea supports social entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey with advice and resources. We help them whatever their background, wherever they are in the US and at most ages, with our youngest ages between 8 to 18.

Pangaea aims to get young people involved in social entrepreneurship and to increase their skills, confidence and aspirations to create social change. We do this mainly by giving real business experiences, for example Snack King Charlotte (delivery convenience store) has pledge donations and help our kids to understand how to run a business by placing them at the drivers seat.

THESE CHALLENGES CAN BE OVERCOME
Over the past five years there has been unprecedented interest and active support for young social entrepreneurs and their ventures in the US. Pangaea supports people to go a step beyond donating and volunteering for others to lead their own solution to solve a social problem.

UNLEASHING THE POTENTIAL OF YOUNG PEOPLE
The need to support talented young people who have the potential to change their community for the better has never been greater. Though the challenges facing young people are significant, so are the opportunities.
We look for inspiring individuals with the ideas and determination to solve a social problem. These are young people with:

ATTITUDE
Vision, passion, ideas and a can-do attitude

COMMITMENT
To their cause and/or local area, and good connections

CONFIDENCE
In their own abilities, risk-taking and resilience
