Abstract: This study explores the transformative potential of service learning as a tool for developing social entrepreneurship in France. The study highlights the role of higher education entities as incubators of innovation and social entrepreneurship. Stakeholders (academic officials, public servants, legislators, and students) were interviewed between 2022 and 2023, revealing a distinct French model. This model emphasises collaboration among academia, the government, private enterprises, and NGOs to institutionalise service-learning initiatives within policy frameworks. The findings identify a hybrid system that fosters the recognition of skills and abilities acquired through student participation in voluntary operational projects supported by public administrations. The study underscores the importance of academia as a driver of civic engagement and public policy innovation, producing social entrepreneurs who act as agents of transformative change in their communities.
