Enactus (formerly SIFE, Students in Free Enterprise)
Enactus is an international non-profit organization that empowers businesses and people in the community to create a better, more sustainable world. At Enactus, students take skills learned in the classroom and apply them to real-world problems. Enactus students develop outreach projects that improve the quality of life and standard of living.
Every spring, Enactus competes at the national competition where the team presents its projects to a panel of business leaders and professionals. The national winner then gets to represent the United States at the World Cup. Carthage’s Enactus placed third in their division at the 2018 National Exposition.
There are more than 200 partner companies who sponsor Enactus and provide networking opportunities for Enactus students. “With a head for business and a heart for the world, we live our values of integrity, passion, innovation, and collaboration.”
