Young Social Entrepreneurs (YSE) is building the next generation of social entrepreneurs, through unique, interactive, educational experiences and enterprise opportunities.
The Problem
Young people today will inherit some of the greatest social challenges our society has ever faced. Yet very few leave school having been taught how to identify these challenges, understand them, or build sustainable solutions. YSE exists to change that.
Our Solution
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.
Delivered Through Three Pathways
Our mission is delivered through various programmes – LEARN, LAUNCH, and LEAD – each designed to engage students at different stages of their journey.
Interactive workshops and supplemental online learning hub that empower students to explore and understand social challenges.
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.
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.
“We established Young Social Entrepreneurs (YSE) following an enlightening trip to Ghana as part of the Chief Rabbi’s Ben Azzai Programme. During our visit we observed various interventions tackling social issues. We returned to the UK inspired to educate young students about the social challenges faced both globally and locally, emphasizing the vital role of social enterprises in addressing these issues. Through our programmes, we equip students with the practical knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to drive positive change.”
