The Citizen Sector

Eonfire exists to develop the potential of next generation changemakers. It supports these aspiring social entrepreneurs in the development of social enterprises in the 21st century. These enterprises offer systematic solutions to social needs that traditional public and private sectors have not addressed. Social entrepreneurs are the flames who forge social transformations by creating new paradigms and enterprises. They are the energetic leaders igniting change through this emerging sector: the citizen sector.

Min,

Pretty much Eonfire Decentral is an educational non-profit organization that has 4 core competencies. They are as follows:

1. Campus chapter program (the lifeline of the network)
2. Annual conference / or joint conference
3. Maintenance of online portal to support members and chapters with resources and communication tools
4. Additional programs like organizing research and consulting projects, career development programs, leadership retreats and internships opportunities.

Eonfire Decentral is the big picture. It is a network of aspiring social entrepreneurs regardless of the field of studies you are in right now. Because it is a decentralized non profit organization, the Chapter executives will have a huge say in the activities that they will organize on campus. However, the executive team is currently writing a Startup Toolkit and it is in its editing phase right now. If you are truly interested in starting a Chapter in New Zealand, we would love it! It would be our first "non North American" Chapter. Please do read the website again to gain a better understanding of what Eonfire does at www.eonfire.org. If starting up a social changemakers organization is something you are truly committed to, you can talk to me and I can introduce you to our Executive Director - Kevin Bao, or you can always email him directly at kevbao@gmail.com.

I would love it if you're starting a Chapter at the University of Auckland!! We would then be working closely together (online, that is!)
