WHAT HAPPENED
Ahead of the day, the CSG employees were matched with a Social Enterprise based on the causes they care about and the skills the Social Enterprises needed.
On the day, they got to work! During the 4 hour session, the CSG employees worked to support the Social Enterprises with what they needed, including marketing strategies, communication, business strategy, web development and a whole lot more!
At the end of the day, the CSG employees and Social Enterprises reflected on the session and shared the steps they would take beyond the Change Day to grow the impact of the Social Enterprises.
