Social entrepreneurs are impassioned leaders who strive to find systemic solutions for matters affecting human welfare such as poverty, unemployment, and poor access to quality healthcare. Their social-value creating work is defined as social entrepreneurship. The purpose of this paper is to lay the groundwork for a larger discussion on (1) the role of ICT as vehicles for change and reform in the social sector, with emphasis on social entrepreneurship; and (2), the opportunities that social entrepreneurship paves for the future ICT workforce. This paper, through a qualitative methodology, reports on the findings from semi-structured interviews of Ashoka Fellows across the United States. Findings on five critical insights on the role of technology in implementation of social solutions are reported, and their implications for the development of next generations entering the ICT professions are discussed.
