Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Opinion / Op-ed / Inspiring future social entrepreneurs: "Social entrepreneurs are change agents who, like their counterparts in the private sector, bring new ideas, techniques, systems and solutions to the civic and social sectors. As the Ashoka Institute describes, 'The job of a social entrepreneur is to recognize when a part of society is stuck and to provide new ways to get it unstuck.'"
