Youth Social Entrepreneurship: Empowering Students Through Awareness, Understanding, and Sustainable Action

Jancey Clark

YSE is a program to support middle and high school students in developing a sustainable project - which is aligned to one of the SDGs - that will address an issue or solve a problem in the local community. Participants of this activity will engage in the design thinking cycle, Business Canvas Model, and Pecha Kucha pitch that students use. The end goal of a student’s YSE project is to receive funding and/or create a way to generate income to keep their project going. Sample projects will be shared. Participants will be given all the resources needed to launch the YSE project at their school.
