Young people with wealth or class privilege are stepping up for social justice with the launch of Resource Generation Australia – a new initiative dedicated to the equitable distribution of wealth and power.
Building on a global movement that includes Resource Generation (USA), Resource Justice (UK), and Resource Movement (Canada), Resource Generation Australia (RG) is designed to educate, empower, and mobilise young people with access to wealth.
Through learning and action, participants are equipped to challenge the systems that uphold inequality and stand in solidarity with social justice movements.
The Australian chapter has been a year in the making, driven by a dedicated working group that has engaged more than 50 young people with wealth, movement leaders, and philanthropic changemakers across the country.
“The response has been overwhelmingly positive,” says Laura Mannix, Philanthropy Lead at Australian Communities Foundation and RG Working Group member.
There’s a clear appetite for a space where young people can explore the intersection of wealth, class, and social change
“There’s a clear appetite for a space where young people can explore the intersection of wealth, class, and social change – one that encourages critical conversations and tangible action.”
At the heart of Resource Generation Australia is Praxis, a transformative six-month learning program launching in May 2025 in Sydney.
This small cohort (6–8 participants) will engage in deep discussions on personal histories, class, race, wealth redistribution, and systemic change, all within a supportive environment designed for reflection and growth.
“Resource Generation is about bringing together young people with wealth or class privilege to share insights and engage in collective action,” says Laura.
“The Praxis program takes participants on a peer-facilitated educational journey about the roots of inequality and supports them to act on moving their resources to address systemic inequality, not just alleviate its symptoms.”
