Mission and objectivesYouth Co:Lab positions young people front and center in order to solve the regionโs most pressing challenges. Co-created in 2017 by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Citi Foundation, Youth Co:Lab aims to establish a common agenda for countries in the Asia-Pacific region to empower and invest in youth so that they can accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through leadership, social innovation and entrepreneurship.
ContextThe Youth Co:Lab Springboard Programme is an incubation process to leave no one behind on entrepreneurship education. Through our collaboration with industry experts, alumni founders and investment partners, we curate practical curriculums to support social enterprises to best showcase their impact, and obtain mentorships and opportunities to advance their SDG solutions.
Task DescriptionWe are looking for an experienced Online Volunteer to support with the conceptualisation of themes for the quarterly events by Entreprenaari, a social enterprise under the Youth Co:Lab portfolio. Entreprenaari aims to create a supportive ecosystem for women entrepreneurs, offering a hybrid marketplace, mentorship, resources, and networking opportunities to help underrepresented female founders succeed. In this role, the Online Volunteer will conceptualize potential themes for four different one-day Markets organised by the startup. The Markets are community events that provide women entrepreneurs with a platform to showcase their products and services and offer market access to women-owned businesses and also foster a sense of community and support among South Asian and Nepali women entrepreneurs. The Online Volunteer is expected to develop four modern, engaging themes for the 2025 Entreprenaari Markets that align with the brandโs mission of building an ecosystem for women entrepreneurs and create mood boards to showcase the visual and conceptual direction of the themes. The Online Volunteer will be provided with material and branding guidelines for the completion of the tasks. For close coordination and discussion, the Online Volunteer is expected to be available for calls via Zoom. This assignment provides Online Volunteers with an opportunity to develop and strengthen their skills in thematic design and gain insights of youth social entrepreneurship.
