Got an idea to help your community? Let’s make it real. With Groundup Launchpad, turning that idea into action isn’t as difficult as you think.
This 10-week incubator programme (January to March 2027) is for youths who want to start something new from the ground up. Join a team (or form your own!), learn from seasoned groundup mentors, and carry your project through to implementation.
Over 10 weeks, you’ll take part in curated workshops on:
🎯 Design Sprint: Identify the needs and challenges of your target cause area/audience and how you can curate an innovative solution to fit their needs.
🎬 Publicity: Learn what makes a purposeful story and how to tailor different types of content to suit different channels to get the word out about your groundup
🤝 Volunteer Management: Gain insights from different groundup founders on how to recruit and manage volunteer
📝 Grant Proposal Writing: Curated clinics to sharpen your pitch for funding
Throughout the programme, you’ll also gain:
Seasoned groundup mentors who’ve been where you are
Exclusive charity partnerships to help your project get real traction
