ree Royal Roads University alumni will be selected to lead the establishment of the best three business concepts. As a demonstration of their volunteer commitment, these Micro Business Catalyst Fellows are required to fundraise to pay their own travel costs and incidentals.
On the ground in your selected region, the fellows will engage partners from the local community; write business plans, under the tutelage and supervision of the Eric C. Douglass Centre; establish at least three small businesses; mentor the businesses’ future owners; and ultimately transition the operation of growing sustainable new income sources into the hands of developing economy entrepreneurs.
And then, a micro business is formed. Your gi re-invests itself in the people who need it most, their community – and far beyond, into the future.
