Globalization, environmental degradation, intensified social conflicts, and the leap of information technology are all consuming our energy. With the mission of inspiring and motivating young leaders, the Singapore Good Soil Foundation has carefully designed courses and practices to guide young people aged 15-17 to take on responsibilities, reshape themselves, and master leadership for the future. In order to cultivate more future young leaders who are committed to improving society, the Next Generation Philanthropy Leadership Program will be fully upgraded and expanded in 2025 and will be launched at the Nanyang Technological University Business School.

Deepening cooperation and expanding territory

Looking ahead to 2025, the Singapore Good Soil Foundation will continue to deepen its partnerships with well-known universities and outstanding companies, and on this basis, expand the Next Generation Philanthropy Leadership Program to countries and regions such as Indonesia, Japan, China, the United States and Europe. This strategic move will not only further expand the international influence of the program, but will also attract outstanding students from different cultural backgrounds to come and jointly build a diverse and inclusive learning platform.

We created this program mainly for students who have great ambitions and look forward to the future. Here you can :

• Improve leadership and develop critical thinking skills
• Connect with mentors, nonprofit leaders, and engage in conversations with renowned entrepreneurs and scientists
• Join the global community of young change makers to initiate and implement international charity projects
• Explore volunteer service opportunities and continue your personal public welfare practice

Highlights not to be Missed

Compared to the 2024 program, the 2025 program has been fully optimized and upgraded while retaining its original essence. This year’s courses have been carefully designed, with richer and more attractive content. The program will determine a new charity theme every year. This year’s program theme will focus on How High Technology Can Be Leveraged for Philanthropic Innovation. The program will invite experts and scholars in the field of artificial intelligence to give lectures, and students will have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with well-known entrepreneurs and scientists.

This year, the program will provide students from grades 9 to 11 with a learning experience that goes beyond the traditional school education model through professional leadership training, real-life case analysis, and immersive experiential education. In addition, the program will focus more on practical application, providing students with more opportunities to meet industry leaders face to face and participate in more diverse volunteer activities, allowing students to experience the power of charitable action firsthand.

Professional training upgrades, gathering cutting-edge knowledge

We invite internationally renowned industry experts and professors from top universities to bring students cutting-edge leadership theory and practical skills training, provide comprehensive professional guidance, and help students improve their leadership qualities.

Analyze actual cases and strengthen theoretical application

By analyzing real-life leadership cases, students are guided to deeply explore the application of leadership theories in different scenarios and cultivate their ability to solve practical problems.

Innovative immersive teaching and enhanced practical experience

Create an immersive learning environment, simulate real-life scenarios, and adopt a model of classroom learning in the morning and volunteer service in the afternoon to deepen students’ understanding of leadership and philanthropy and enhance their practical ability.

Promote international exchanges and promote diverse integration

This year, the program has expanded its international student recruitment to attract outstanding young people from all over the world to participate, creating a diverse and inclusive learning environment for students and giving them the opportunity to explore the connotation of leadership in a global context.

Program Arrangement, Filled with Practical Information

This five-day summer camp has carefully prepared a series of exciting and challenging thematic courses for each participant. The courses for each day have been strictly selected and designed, and the courses are closely linked to each other, aiming to stimulate students’ interest in learning, broaden their knowledge horizons, and cultivate innovative thinking and practical ability. After five days of intensive learning and practice, students will accumulate rich knowledge and skills, laying a solid foundation for their future development. The program revolves around specific topics each day to ensure that students have a high-quality learning experience.

*Detailed tutor information and course schedule will be sent along with the admission letter.

Working Together to Start the Leadership Journey

Singapore Good Soil Foundation is committed to building a platform for continuous learning for teenagers aged 15-17. Students participating in the program will become a member of the family. After the summer camp, Singapore Good Soil Foundation will continue to provide resource support and expert guidance for the winning student projects. At the same time, every class of students will have the opportunity to participate in various activities regularly held by the foundation every year.

In 2025, the program plans to enrol 50 student fellows from grades 9 to 11. As a non-profit program, the Foundation has established scholarships for outstanding students recommended by their school and selected through interviews, building a bridge between social welfare and leadership development for them. In addition, for students who do not secure a scholarship but possess a keen interest in public welfare and are interested in charitable activities, or in the future are likely to manage family charitable foundations, the program has opened a small number of self-funded seats. Self-funded applicants will need to register at their own expense and participate in interviews to ensure that they meet the project requirements. All income will be used for charity projects, making this learning journey more meaningful!

Following the successful hosting of the first Next Generation Philanthropy Leadership Program summer camp by the Singapore Good Soil Foundation and the National University of Singapore Business School in 2024, we will launch the second Next Generation Philanthropy Leadership Program at the Nanyang Technological University Business School in 2025, bringing a pioneering and transformative journey to the selected students. Through courses and public welfare practices, the program will awaken and inspire students’ courage, sense of responsibility and foresight, and help them shape a better future!

The application deadline for the 2025 Next Generation Philanthropy Leadership Program is May 15, 2025. We are now inviting outstanding students from around the world. If the enrolment limit is reached in advance , we will announce it through official channels and close the application channel immediately. Interested parties please seize the opportunity and actively participate in the application. We look forward to your growth in this program, creating more possibilities, and moving towards a brilliant future together!
