A brief description of the enterprise:

Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) at USF, Inc., founded on the principles of free enterprise, serves members of the community through educational outreach projects that embody social, economic, environmental sustainability. In addition, SIFE at USF provides the best opportunity for its members to develop leadership, teamwork, and communication skills through learning, practicing, and teaching the principles of free enterprise using the People=Planet-Prosperity business model.
