Social Enterprise B-Corporation Certification Plan

We are currently in the planning stages for launching a new project: Peace through Forgiveness (https://www.azimkhamisa.com/peace-through-forgiveness/) We would like to consider using one of Azim Khamisa's existing corporations, after gaining B Corporation status for this existing business. (Perhaps Sovereign Capital Holdings, Inc https://www.sovereigncapitalmarkets.com/ DBA Azim N. Khamisa, Inc.)A second option may be creating a new corporation using the B Corporation requirements in the process. One result of this project will be a recommendation as to the best method for us to gain B Corporation status in the least amount of time and effort. To achieve B-Corporation certification, our company must receive a minimum score on social and environmental performance. This is an online assessment that is overseen by the independent body that certifies B-Corporations (the B Lab). The assessment covers our entire operations and measures our impact in governance, workers, community, the environment, as well as our products and services. We also must integrate sustainability commitments to stakeholders into our governing documents. Project focus should include:An assessment of our current score, which will allow us to identify our areas for improvement. A strategy plan, based on the score assessment, that identifies the areas in which we need to improve performance to achieve the threshold score for B-Corporation certification.The final project deliverable is a 10-page written report detailing our current score, areas for improvement, and a strategy plan for meeting the B-Corporation certification requirements within a 1-month period. This 10 page written report should be in the format of a “Business Plan” or a detailed proposal that can assist in (a) creating an initial budget; (b) raising the first round of “seed” capital. (c) include bios of our team and potentially the name of the Professor and University. Some ideas of successful examples would be helpful.

Evergreen Course Creation

We would like students to help us create an evergreen course based on a live virtual course we host seasonally. The evergreen course is aligned with our vision, mission, and purpose: spreading healing through teaching forgiveness. We will ensure the student has a clear understanding of what these elements are for our organization. Azim Khamisa is a thought leader, award-winning author, international speaker, and the founder of TKF, a non-profit organization that helps youth in San Diego. He has been leading workshops and giving lectures on the power of forgiveness for over 25 years. We have taken his in-person events and 2-day workshops and converted them into an online course so that he can reach more people with his message that "Peace is Possible through Forgiveness." New videos paired with previously recorded sessions need to be edited and organized in a way that is effective for a self-paced course.

Digital Content Creation - Evergreen Course Video Development

We would like students to help us with creating content that is aligned with our vision, mission, and sector. We will ensure the student has a clear understanding of what these elements are for our organization. Azim Khamisa has been teaching forgiveness for 20 plus years since he forgave the murder of his own son. For more background, look up his ted talk or search for his Goalcast video on youtube or socials. We have been hosting online, live events that span 4 days, akin to a conference, that teach forgiveness and self-forgiveness to participants. We have several recordings from the live events that we are looking to edit with our new Powerpoint presentation and course goals to create an evergreen module self-paced course to bring this to people who cannot make the event time contraints. We believe that peace is possible and that forgiveness is the avenue through which people can discover inner peace and joy.To accomplish this, we expect the student(s) will:Write content pieces on assigned topics related to evergreen courses and marketingGain access to a strategic marketing map for course content and creationAssist with a social media video launch to promote our organization and coursesEvaluate, edit, and timestamp existing videos for prospective use with mento's supervision and guidanceAssist in behind the scenes editing decisions with your mentorIdentify media outlets that are most beneficial to share our storyUltimately, you will be working on content creation for our organization, including video, social media, and other collateral that we can use as go-to marketing tools and course creation.If you like the sound of our culture and are ready to tackle this challenge with us, then we'd love to hear from you.A student or team with excellent writing and video skills would be the ideal candidate for this project.
