With the increased demand for social services, coupled with decreasing availability of governmental and charitable funds, business for good is no longer a competitive advantage but a necessity.

To help young changemakers who are passionate about solving social challenges turn their ideas into reality, we have worked with industry partners to develop a curriculum that delves into the specifics of social entrepreneurship. Working with schools to organise complimentary bootcamps, we are looking for passionate volunteer trainers to teach and share relevant industry experiences with our young minds.
