Reap Benefit’s Bootcamp Express is a 2 month mentor driven program to activate action-oriented citizens called Solve Ninjas to solve India’s alarming climate and civic issues. With a focus on ‘locals’ (communities, data and solutions), the program builds 21st century skills necessary to thrive in the rapidly evolving markets, enables environmental savings and sets youth up for a lifelong engagement with climate and civic problem solving.
Strengthened by Solve Ninja technology platform and action-oriented communities, the program provides in-depth knowledge, toolkits and mentoring to think about local data, engage in local campaigns and build local innovative solutions. Focused on local neighbourhoods, this experiential problem solving ideology is an easily adaptable template for the global world.
