Abstract: Social entrepreneurs are supposed to be the specialty of seasoned adults in business. Proving the adage wrong, Skoll and Ashoka foundations have already nurtured adolescent social entrepreneurs successfully. Very few systematic studies endorse the view that the young can be inspired to become social entrepreneurs. This case study, consisting of two biographical stories, constructs an understanding to inspire further research in the phenomenon of adolescents turning into social entrepreneurs. The findings suggest that if young persons engage in transforming themselves reflexively and simultaneously act on their beliefs to resolve social problems, they will achieve success as social entrepreneurs.
