MYHero consists of two phases.
-
Capacity BuildingStudents come to our 2-day social entrepreneurship boot camp to learn about social entrepreneurial skills. Through a structured step-by-step action-based process, students will learn:- Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship
- The Big Why to Social Entrepreneurship
- How to identify social issues
- Ideate solutions for the issue
- Validate their project idea
- Build a prototype for their idea
- Ways to fund their idea
- Plan for their project execution
- How to pitch their idea
We incorporate design thinking methodology and accelerated learning techniques into our curriculum so our students can learn the most in the shortest period of time. Our modules are made easy to understand and simple to follow. The element of competition also encourages our students to come up with creative yet effective ideas and strive to bring spillover benefits to the community that they love. - Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship

Project ImplementationAfter the social entrepreneurship boot camp, students will form a group of 5 to carry out their social project for a few months at the respective communities to address the social issues close to their heart. Under the mentorship of teachers and facilitators, MYHero has produced a high success rate for the completion of the social projects, from solving smaller issues such as bullying, vandalism, road safety, to addressing bigger issues such as eradicating poverty in rural areas.
Usually these projects are well supported by their local community and relevant stakeholders and being carried on for a few more years to create an even larger impact. What motivates us further is some social projects are eventually developed into a sustainable social enterprise.
