SIFE - The Organization
Founded in 1975, Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) has grown to become one of the largest tertiary-based organizations
in the world. SIFE teams are active in more than 40 countries around the world. You can always visit www.sife.org to find
a complete list of the countries that operate a SIFE program as well as the institutions enrolled.
Working together as a team, and through the mentorship of a faculty advisor(s), SIFE students apply their classroom
experiences to develop and implement educational outreach programs that teach individuals in their communities the
principles of market economics, success skills, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, environmental sustainability andb
usiness ethics.
The challenge to SIFE teams is not simply to inform, but to empower – to help their targeted audiences reach their full
potential through a better understanding of the principles of free enterprise. Individually, SIFE teams are improving the
quality of life and standard of living for members of their communities. Collectively, the focused effort of hundreds of SIFE
teams and the thousands of faculty, students, and supporting community leaders driving these teams, have created a
positive and sweeping force for change that impacts the lives of millions.
