Ideas 2 Serve focuses on the in-depth understanding of a social/environmental issue a student is passionate about, supporting an in-depth discovery of that particular problem.
Students who are interested in understanding complex problems and/or involved in community-based grassroots efforts to address such problems but don't have an "innovation" can be part of I2S - strengthening the "serve" component of it.
Participation in the Ideas to Serve Competition fulfills the Final Deliverable requirement for the SLS Innovating for Social Impact Program.
