We equip students with the knowledge and understanding of today’s pressing social challenges, promote social entrepreneurship as a way to tackle them, and provide the practical skills and confidence to drive tangible change.

Our mission is delivered through various programmes – LEARN, LAUNCH, and LEAD  – each designed to engage students at different stages of their journey. Together, these delivery methods combine education, practical experience, and leadership development to help participants grow as social entrepreneurs.

• LEARN: Interactive workshops that empower students to explore and understand local and global social challenges.
• LAUNCH: The flagship competition where students design a social enterprise addressing local societal issues, with the winning team receiving seed funding to bring their idea to life.
• LEAD: An alumni programme connecting students with social entrepreneurship leaders, helping them explore diverse career pathways across social enterprises, NGOs, and corporate settings.

Whatever path a YSE student takes, they leave equipped to make tangible change – whether by setting up a social enterprise, advancing responsible business within a corporate setting, or inspiring others to make a difference – ultimately shaping a new generation of leaders in social change and building the next generation of social entrepreneurs.
