We're a nonprofit social enterprise leading the way in youth entrepreneurship in Australia. We deliver a range of education programs that develop the entrepreneurial mindset, skillset + toolset of young people aged 10 - 25 to help prepare for their future. We believe that effective entrepreneurial education requires a holistic approach, bringing together a community of stakeholders to create an ecosystem that supports young people. So we're facilitating connections and collaboration between stakeholders because youth entrepreneurship thrives when diverse stakeholders come together. At Young Change Agents, we see the future of education. And we’re here to help schools make entrepreneurial education a reality. So today’s students can become tomorrow’s innovators and change agents. Our programs give young people the independence and opportunity to exercise leadership, make decisions and collaborate with peers, community and industry. We embrace every young person’s unique set of life experiences, passions and interests, encouraging them to use these skills to solve problems in their community. We believe entrepreneurial education is a true engine for change. Working in partnership with teachers, Young Change Agents helps introduce and embed entrepreneurial learning in their schools and communities. Our programs make this faster and simpler, saving teachers valuable time.
