In a world where competition often overshadows collaboration, the modeling industry has a widespread reputation for being cutthroat. You must have seen many portrayals of the “dark side” of modeling in popular culture, and may have heard people around you look upon it in a negative light due to this image. Now amidst all this, imagine a safe haven for aspiring models – a thriving ecosystem of support, guidance, and celebration. Say hello to the Wilderbee Community – an online community that is a groundbreaking concept designed to help newcomers in the industry safely navigate it.
Aspiring models who join the Wilderbee Talent Camp for their Model Training Course embark on a transformative 5-day journey, honing their skills and building a solid foundation for success. But the story doesn't end there; it's only just the beginning. On completing their training, these new family members are invited into the warm embrace of the Wilderbee Community, a virtual haven where collaboration and community override unhealthy competition and safety concerns. Each member is welcomed into the community with love, and made to feel like a part of the community by existing members.
More than just another online group, the Wilderbee Community thrives on the collective power of over 320 members and counting.

Wondering how this is put into practice? There are a few ways that the Wilderbee Community is an invaluable addition to our alumni’s life, and in fact, how it can set any aspiring model for success through the power of community. Here are some of them:

In this space, unity conquers fear by leveraging the collective knowledge of so many to help aspiring models make more informed decisions.
