WeLeap is a student-led social enterprise that aims to promote social entrepreneurship among teenagers by providing cross-sector collaborative opportunities and support. We believe this is an alternative and impactful career path for students to consider during their univiersity life. We hope to gather teenagers with great social awarness, introduce social entrepreneurship in school through holding various activities, and provide support for young social entprenreneurs to increase their brand value and influence.
This is a movement of impact business by students. Unlike existing social enterprise incubators and consultancy, we do not focus on defining what is social enterprise or impact business, but the way to solve social issues in a sustainable way. We inspire and motivate youths to join the industry with their passion, creativity, up-to-date knowledge and most importantly, their strength. This would definitely start a new page for impact business.

Teenagers will be the main beneficiary of this project. They could engage in sales of end-products from social enterprise, CSV (Creating Shared Value) projects design and workshops or visits of impact businesses. These are easier entrances to the industry. It is important to understand the role of impact business in society, identify its advantage and contribute to it accordingly. Participants can also find like-minds in our community, which could be their potential partners for their projects. Moreover, students can connect with successful social entrepreneurs during our events, which might be useful if they decide to be involved in social entrepreneurship.
Apart from students’ contribution, we provide strategic and marketing support to social enterprises and impact businesses directly. By continuously increasing breadth and depth of our understanding on social enterprises, and executing cases for study, we hope to form a blueprint regarding income model and expansion for social enterprises, so that we could improve the business model with social enterprises eventually. Additionally, with our own social media and production, we hope to provide exposure for social enterprises that lack established organizations’ support. Connections with press, local entrepreneurs, business communities and online marketing agencies are also our unique advantages.
