BEGIN, an acronym for Build,
Engage, Give, Inspire, and Nurture, is a non-profit organization
found in 2014 at Seattle Pacific University. It stands to foster
next generation leaders who advance human flourishing through
service in business, government, and civil society. It is
the student club for all undergraduates associated with the SPU
School of Business, Government, and Economics.
At BEGIN, members are trained to be transformative leaders with
a serving heart and professional qualities. Nationally renowned
speakers attend BEGIN events and contribute to the leadership
training process.Along with keynote speakers, BEGIN hosts
several job fairs throughout the academic year and connects our
leaders to potential employers.
The most unique character of BEGIN however, is the outreach
program. Through partnerships with local communities and
foundations, leaders will be provided
with varieties of opportunities to engage in different cultures
and impact the local community in significant ways. The outreach
program allows leaders to apply the knowledge gained from
BEGIN’s training sessions.
Furthermore, BEGIN consistently researches new
ways to connect and to give to the communities around
the world. One of the ways that BEGIN connects and
raises up communities is through fund-raisers for a
charity that promotes to build a Godly society. Most
importantly, BEGIN’s vision is a world filled with
Christ-like leaders that continue to engage cultures
and impact the world. |
Fostering next generation leaders who
advance human flourishing
through service in business,
government, and civil society.
This is where it begins.
Let no one despise you for your youth,
but set the believers
an example in speech, in
conduct,
in love, in faith, in
purity.
— 1 Timothy 4:12
