Hi all,
SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) Cambridge is always looking for members to help the running of projects.
At the moment, we're especially in need of a co-leader for Take the Leap, which runs business workshops at local community colleges for Year 7s.
No experience needed and I guarantee the workshops would be lots of fun!
Please contact Ivy (iysd2) or Yi (yh310) if you're interested.
Other current projects which we're recruiting for are:
- The Lavinia Project, which sells cards handmade by Sri Lankan women living in slums.
- Alora, helping tailors in Vietnam to expand their businesses.
- Aspire, offering outreach sessions to refugees and asylum seeks around Cambridge.
Please contact Ivy (iysd2) if you're interested in any of these projects.
Thank you!

Please pass the following opportunity to your SIFE members. This is an excellent opportunity for future leaders to learn about the relationship between free enterprise and the federal government through Washington, D.C. internships and classes at Georgetown University. Let me know if you or any of your members have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Tilley
Coordinator, Institute on Business and Government Affairs
