Project Summary

Enactus Australia has been delivering impact for 25 years. We don’t fit the usual mold of a single issue or challenge being addressed. We also have a complex story. We deliver impact on and through our participants. We support young, smart, driven university students to develop the skills and networks they need to become future change makers. They do this by creating and running enterprises and programs addressing some very complex and real global challenges.

Supporting always leads to the generation of impact now, in the future, and ongoing! Support the development of the next generation of impact leaders. The workforce we need to create the future we want to live in.

In order to meet the social and environmental targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the world needs leaders who understand the role their disciplinary specialty can play, and how they can work with others, to identify social and environmental challenges and deliver solutions. Supporting the Enactus program enhances the development of purpose led future leaders with a head for business and a heart for the world.

Project Outcomes

Engagement with, and training of 1200 + university students in the identification of social and environmental challenges and the design, development and delivery of social enterprises to address them.
