Young Social Entrepreneurs of Canada

Our mission is to ignite a national movement of young social entrepreneurs who align people, planet and profit. We are a community hub for young social entrepreneurs, and a grower of their social enterprises. We saw young people in the social sector squeezed by huge expectations but sparse resources: no professional guidance, business education, access to funding, lack of credibility, and the list goes on. YSEC is our response. It is a front-door to the social sector – a hub for connections, education and support of young people in social enterprise.

My City Lives

My City Lives is a digital media platform that unites user generated videos with the location where they were filmed on an interactive map. Our users visit My City Lives to virtually explore their city using the experiences and stories of other citizens to act as their guides. A simple way of understanding our value is to compare us to Google's Streetview, which only takes you to the door of a location, while we tell you if you actually want to go inside. We strongly believe our ability to create social good for a citizen within the city they live is one of our most compelling competitive advantages. Our premium features include the ability for organizations to form contextual ads beside videos. This feature is offered at no cost to NFPs, NGOs, public spaces, registered charities, and other similar organizations. We truly believe there should not be barriers for these organizations to leverage our platform for their marketing needs. The platform can be a very powerful social tool for leveraging modern media and mapping it to market to: organizations; spaces; and people involved in creating social good in a city.
