The Youth Academy Mycelia (YAM) is an innovative program to empower young individuals with the knowledge, skills, and empathy needed to become changemakers in their communities.
Our Social Entrepreneurship Program is a dynamic initiative designed to empower secondary school students with the skills, mindset, and compassion to tackle real-world challenges through social entrepreneurship and innovation
What will students gain?
The Social Entrepreneurship Program is a semester-long journey where students develop critical thinking, leadership, and empathy while contributing to meaningful social causes. Through a blend of online learning, in-person sessions, hands-on projects, and community engagement, participants will gain practical experience in creating innovative solutions and lifelong skills for personal growth.
How does it work?
The program is structured around three pillars:
Head: Online modules and in-person sessions introduce students to concepts like design thinking and social impact measurement.
Hand: Students collaborate on fundraising projects for the Credo Foundation, applying entrepreneurial skills to support literacy programs.
Heart: Personal growth is fostered through interactions with children with literacy challenges, teamwork with peers in fundraising events, and team coaching to address challenges.
Why join the program?
Skills Development: Students enhance their problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork abilities. They also gain skills to manage personal and interpersonal challenges.
University Readiness: The program prepares students for university applications by highlighting leadership and social contributions.
Community Impact: Participants directly contribute to improving literacy rates in underserved communities.
A message for parents
We invite parents to witness their children's growth during the final presentation of their projects. This event showcases how students have applied their learning to create meaningful change in their communities.
At team mycelia, we are committed to fostering a culture where young minds can thrive and make a difference. This program is more than just an educational journey—it's a step toward building a better future together.
