Katherine McCormick defines a Social Entrepreneur, or as is called locally a "busy body" or "know it all"

 About being a Social Entrepreneur:

Now some of you may be asking yourself what is a social entrepreneur ? Social entrepreneurs are i ndividuals with innovative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems. They have the ability to realize concepts, organise them and carry them to fruition. They're ambitious and persistent, tackling major social issues and offering new ideas for wide-scale change.  Rather than leaving social needs to government or community groups alone, social entrepreneurs look for what’s not working and solve the problem by designing [or re-designing] systems to address the issues(s), communicating the solution and persuading others to take up new challenges that will benefit everyone.

Social entrepreneurs have a strong desire to be of service to humanity.   They want win-win solutions than make changes in the lives of people that may otherwise never have an opportunity to actively participate in society or to reach their full potential.  I believe that one person can make a difference, especially if they can inspire others assist in addressing the needs of venerable people who might otherwise slip through the cracks. In order to fulfil my mission as a social entrepreneur , I needed to find a nonprofit that had the same vision I did. Well, after looking for quite some time I realized that I'd have to put myself on the line and develop one.  Social entrepreneurs aren’t cowards, but having said that, the job was daunting. As luck would have it, I met people that believed in the same vision.
