Citizen First is a fully-salaried 12 month incubator that supports hidden entrepreneurs to drive social change hand-in-hand with their communities.
Each year we recruit hidden entrepreneurs onto missions to tackle major social issues facing them and their communities.
They are paid a year’s Real Living Wage and given industry leading support to invent new solutions with hundreds locally.
Community-led ideas are turned into sustainable and investable social businesses that have legacy.
From investing in a full programme or one location, we have an option to suit all organisations.
