SEP Membership

SEP membership expectations include a commitment to the following:

Program Commitment

SEP Fellows make a twelve-month commitment to participation in the program.

Assessment Trip

SEP Fellows will participate in a five-day assessment and immersion trip designed to introduce them to the history, needs, and opportunities of Rwanda and to facilitate introductions to entrepreneurs looking to build a mentor relationship.

International Training Seminars

Ideally, SEP members will be able to travel to Rwanda at least once again to participate in quarterly entrepreneur training seminars. SEP Fellows will assist in conducting seminar training for entrepreneurs to provide critical skills training in the areas of leadership, strategic planning, sales and marketing, finance, product development, project management, logistics, funding development and investor relations, and talent management.

Mentor Relationship

Each SEP Fellow will be paired with a Rwandan entrepreneur to provide individual leadership coaching and mentoring via email, Skype, and conference calls.

SEP Meetings

SEP members will participate in regular SEP Team meetings for member development, skills training, collaboration, brainstorming, and support.
