The Foundation for Youth Social Entrepreneurship has launched the “Asia Pacific Future 100” program. This is an annual program that will provide fellowship opportunities for young entrepreneurs and social changemakers under the age of 30 years. The fellowship comprises of one-year support during which the selected youths will be interviewed and interacted through schools and universities and their profiles will be documented as inspirations stories that can inspire other young people for taking up entrepreneurship before the age of 30. The program intends to select 100 such youths. The selected candidates will receive mentorship and technical assistance and they will also be able to network with other entrepreneurs.
Youths under the age of 30 years who have set up NGOs or are playing lead roles in social organizations are eligible to take part in the program. There will be judged on the basis of their leadership potential, growth potential of their project/business, the social impact, the financial sustainability and the originality of the business/ project concept. Only nominations are invited. Application forms can be downloaded from the Foundation’s website. The last date to nominate is 31 August 2009. For more information, visit this link.
