Young Social Entrepreneurs Programme 2020

The Young Social Entrepreneurs Programme seeks to inspire, equip and enable the youth of different nationalities to embark on social enterprises in Singapore and beyond.

The Singapore International Foundation (SIF) believes in equipping, enabling and inspiring young changemakers like you to make your social enterprise idea a reality.

Through the YSE Programme, it nurtures a network of social entrepreneurs, where the power of ideas, know-how and resources can be harnessed to enrich lives and effect positive change for a better world. Launched in 2010, it has over 1000 alumni representing 30 nationalities.

Participants will learn from leading social entrepreneurs, business professionals and other youth who are keen on social innovation, while expanding their networks for potential collaborations for good.

Admitted participants will attend a 4-day YSE Workshop held in March 2020 in Singapore, and pitch for a chance to be shortlisted into the YSE Programme, which includes a mentorship scheme; overseas study visit and an opportunity to pitch for funding.
