Constant formation of new spheres of activity, which leads to the emergence of social demand for new professions and increasing complexity of occupational structure, is a characteristic feature of modern society. So, how does awareness of the need for emergence of a new profession as an urgent social problem, which requires an immediate solution, develop? How are the new ways and methods of solving this problem being created, and what are the first steps taken toward developing these methods? What are the main obstacles and possible means (resources) of overcoming them? These issues are addressed in the article based on the example of an independent non-profit organization, created in the early 2000's, whose scope of activity lies at the crossroads of art and education (children's theater pedagogy). The study is based on two main approaches. First, it is reviewing the process of establishment of a profession through professionalization; second approach emphasizes particularities of the practices of social entrepreneurship. This article presents results of the research, which was conducted utilizing the case-study method within the project "Study of models of social entrepreneurship in Russia". It examined conditions and stages of implementation of its main objectives of an independent non-profit organization - professionalization of children's theater pedagogy through organization of professional training of specialists in this field, analyzed main obstacles on the way toward achieving its goals: bureaucratic, as well as social (related to the willingness of society to perceive the problem) and psychological (related to peculiarities of conducting business among professionals).
