The Social Startup Summit San Jose 2010 was a big success! Students came from the South Bay and even the East Bay to come and work on their service project ideas on Monday, August 16, 2010 at the Sobrato Community Conference Center in San Jose, CA. Sixteen students graduated from the program to form four new community service projects, impacting nine high schools and middle schools with student populations of 600-2700 each. The Social Startup Summit graduated a team with an environmental action plan, a team with a human trafficking youth empowerment curriculum, a team with a peer mentoring program for teens, and a team with a healthy lifestyle awareness campaign.
