Millennium Fellowship Project: Business for a Better Waltham
The students at Bentley University, supported by the Bentley Service-Learning
and Civic Engagement Center, learn that business can drive positive change.
Through this project, we aim to accelerate this process in our home city of
Waltham, Massachusetts.
Through this project, we will conduct research and engage with community
leaders to create a number of resource guides. We will create a guide to equip
Waltham businesses to advance social good (including, but not necessarily
limited to: effective community partnerships, ethical supply chain practices, and
sustainability) through their business practices. We will make a guide for
Waltham consumers that highlights businesses advancing social good, with
categories and indications of the social good that the organizations are
advancing. We will create a document that details business opportunities for
organizations advancing progress toward Sustainable Development Goals.
Lastly, working with civic leaders and business leaders in the city, and drawing
from accessible data, we will develop a resource that will serve as an overview
of community needs in Waltham.
