CESI Partnerships

The Upper Room
SNHU SIFE students work actively with this 501(c)(3) organization to improve operating results. Currently, our students are developing a for-profit side to this non-profit entity as they transform it into a “hybrid” type organization. In addition, SNHU students are involved in assisting with the GED program of The Upper Room.

Manchester Young Professionals Network (MYPN)
CESI has partnered with MYPN to create a “dual-track” (traditional entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship) business plan competition to begin in Fall, 2009. This competition is unique in that selected competitors will participate in a 10-week Business Plan Writing Institute developed by the CESI Director in conjunction with MYPN members.

SNHU High School Partnership Program
SNHU SIFE students are serving as mentors to high school students involved in this program. In addition, CESI supports this program through the hosting of the program at our CESI/Incubator location at 33 S. Commercial Street, Manchester, NH.
