Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE)

2011 SIFE National Champion - Memorial Universtiy of Newfoundland

SIFE is a global, non-profit organization that is literally changing the world through highly dedicated student teams on more than 1,500 university campuses in 39 countries. ACE operates the SIFE program in Canada. This partnership enables students to take their experiences to an international level. Each year, the SIFE National Champion will represent Canada at the SIFE World Cup, held in various cities around the world.

SIFE projects provide student teams with the opportunity to develop leadership, team building and communication skills by teaching the principles of free enterprise, and in turn, they are improving the quality of life and standard of living for millions of people.

Through educational, entrepreneurial outreach initiatives, students make a difference in their community by helping people develop a better understanding of how our free enterprise system works and how to use this information to empower themselves and achieve new successes. Students learn more by teaching others through the use of hands on learning activities. The best way to help a person in the long run is to equip and inspire them to use their natural talents to the best of their abilities. In doing so, it is helping to fulfill our mission of advancing Canadian entrepreneurship.

Teams have the opportunity to share their SIFE accomplishments by participating in the SIFE National Competition.
