Step up, speak out, and shape your community—exploring how young voices and innovative social enterprises can drive real change in the world around you.
Your ideas can make a real difference. Local councils make decisions that affect everything from parks and transport to sustainability initiatives—but young people’s perspectives are often missing. This program gives you the chance to explore how youth voices can be included in decision-making, helping shape the future of your community. At the same time, you’ll investigate local social enterprises that are creating innovative solutions to real-world problems, from supporting people in need to tackling environmental challenges.
In this challenge, you’ll research community needs, design strategies to involve young people in decision-making, and explore how social enterprises operate and create impact. Could your ideas improve local programs or services? How can youth-led initiatives drive positive change? By taking part, you’ll learn how to influence real decisions and see how social innovation can make your local area a better place.
