Yunus and Youth Fellowships for Social Entrepreneurs

Yunus and Youth Fellowships for Social Entrepreneurs

The Yunus&Youth is accepting applications for its Fellowship Program which is a six-month online program designed to empower young social entrepreneurs to develop their full potential by strengthening business models, building compelling strategies for social ventures and expanding professional networks.

Benefits

Mentoring Relationship

Young social entrepreneurs and corporate professionals are connected by Y&Y to turn their business expertise and passion for social change into an actionable plan. Mentors are matched with a co-mentor and a Fellow based on mentors’ strengths and the needs of the entrepreneur.

Fellows are educated through a structured 6-month online program, ensuring an effective transfer of knowledge and guidance due to mentoring guides, Y&Y monitoring, as well as frequent performance reviews.

Business Plan Development

Fellows join the Y&Y online platform, an exclusively curated learning journey designed to meet early-stage social entrepreneurs’ main needs and challenges. With the support of their peers and mentors, Y&Y Fellows complete a series of assignments comprehending the following modules: Solution and Strategy, Revenue Model, Marketing Strategy, Impact Measurement, Partnerships, Funding and Grants, and Pitch and Storytelling.

Final Online Pitch Competition

This is the very last phase of the Y&Y Fellowship Program. It is an opportunity for Y&Y

Fellows to present their social businesses to a team of real investors, shape their presentation skills and test their pitch decks. Pitching competitions offer a unique platform where startups stand to gain early exposure and attention from investors and other stakeholders.

Global Y&Y Alumni Community

Y&Y Fellows who successfully complete all mandatory assignments receive a certificate of graduation and join their exclusive Alumni Network.

Being a Y&Y Fellow means having a support network of former fellows, business leaders, institutions and other like-minded social entrepreneurs around the world that will help them grow their business even further.

Eligibility Criteria

For previous cohorts, Y&Y received applications from thousands of young leaders from all around the world, and even more candidates are expected for the next edition.

Individuals from any country can apply for the program. There are no restrictions on country of origin or country of operations.

Demonstrated dedication and commitment to building a social business and solving a social issue in their community;

Willingness to receive professional guidance and work hard to grow and develop their social business;

Being the founder, co-founder or having full decision-making power in the organization; Fluency in English;
