HOP-SIP

The Hopkins Social Innovation Partnerships (HOP-SIP) was formed in 2008 by Dr. Philip Leaf of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, Bill Tiefenwerth of the JHU Center for Social Concern, and Mindi Levin of the Student Outreach Resource Center at the Johns Hopkins Medical Campus.  It’s purpose is to promote social entrepreneurship across the Johns Hopkins Campuses, linking faculty, staff, and students together to address some of Baltimore’s most pressing needs.   The organization provides technical expertise, seed funding, and a broad network of community and governmental networks to accomplish groundbreaking course work, civic engagement, and service-learning.  It is governed by a board of faculty, staff, students (graduate and undergraduate), and JHU alums.  Bill Tiefenwerth is the Homewood campus contact.
