PHILANTHROPISTS
Investing in young people is the most powerful way to shape a more just, compassionate, and innovative world. This belief drives our work at the Good Soil Foundation. Our mission has always been rooted in cultivating the next generation of socially responsible leaders.
We are proud to announce a new partnership with Nanyang Technological University (NTU), aimed at expanding opportunities for promising youth to learn, lead, and create meaningful change. This collaboration strengthens our shared vision of preparing young people not only for academic excellence, but for purposeful, real-world impact.
From Singapore to Silicon Valley: Global Pathways for Youth
As part of this partnership, bright NTU students will now have the opportunity to intern in Silicon Valley with leading venture capital firm Sky9 Capital.
These six-month internship placements facilitated by the Singapore Good Soil Foundation are designed to equip youth with firsthand experience in a global innovation hub, allowing them to gain exposure to entrepreneurship, tech investment, and international collaboration. But more than a resume boost, these internships reflect our belief that young people deserve immersive opportunities to grow in environments that challenge their thinking and stretch their potential. A well-known saying about youth and personal growth is, “There’s no growth in the comfort zone.” It highlights the idea that real development happens when we push beyond what feels safe and familiar, embracing challenges that help us grow and evolve.
A Holistic Approach to Growth
The internship experience is structured to support not only professional development but also personal and cultural growth. The internship program is overseen by various members of the Sky9 team, ensuring that the interns receive ongoing mentorship.
Highlights include:
This hands-on, people-centered approach ensures that students are not only placed—but nurtured.
Investing in the Future
This initiative is one of many ways Good Soil Foundation is expanding its efforts to build global bridges for young changemakers. Whether through education, leadership development, or international exposure, we are deeply committed to supporting youth with the tools and networks they need to thrive—and to lead with empathy, courage, and clarity.
Together with NTU, Sky9 Capital, and our community of partners, we are planting seeds that will shape tomorrow’s world—one young leader at a time.
To cultivate the next generation of future philanthropists and social entrepreneurs, driven by a shared commitment to transforming lives and advancing the public good.
