Why join Camstart

Camstart is an exciting social entrepreneurship programme that empowers high school students to become social impact leaders. This programme was developed at the University of Cambridge with the guidance of successful social entrepreneurs and social innovation experts from The Global Development Incubator and UNICEF. 


Through Camstart you will gain the skills, knowledge and mindset to thrive as a social entrepreneur. The programme is tailored to students aged 14-19 with a wide range of experiences. Whether you are completely new to social entrepreneurship or have already launched your first social impact project, Camstart will help take your social impact to the next level.


The programme is self-paced, giving you the flexibility to complete it alongside school (3-4 hours a week). The course has weekly assignments to complete to help you apply what you've learnt in lessons.


The curriculum emphasises real-life application while introducing sound theoretical concepts, so you can gain practical skills that will help them in school, university applications and starting your own social impact project.
