The Brightside Trust was another innovative initiative announced to be one of this year's Deloitte Social Innovation Pioneers, meaning that they will get a package of help from Deloitte in order to further scale the organization and continue its focus on social good.
Brightside is particularly helpful as an education-focused social enterprise because of the way in which it fosters technology, and more specifically, digital technology and the web in order to harness youth to reach their educational goals.
They do this through an apt mix of offering teaching resources, e-mentoring and online tools such as games. Employment is also an important part of the business model and the mission at large.
