Next Gen Changes Makers Program

Next Gen Change Makers is our flagship suite of programs that supports young people in developing voice, agency, and leadership in a rapidly changing world.

Next Gen Change Makers is our flagship suite of programs that supports young people in developing voice, agency, and leadership in a rapidly changing world.

These programs are designed for young people who may not always see themselves reflected in traditional leadership pathways, including those from marginalised or underrepresented communities.

At the core of this work is a belief that young people already hold insight, strength and leadership potential, we create the conditions for that to emerge.

Our approach is…

  • Trauma-informed

  • Grounded in lived and living experience

  • Focused on connection, belonging and identity

  • Designed to be engaging, creative and practical

Program Inclusions

  • Supporting young people to understand who they are, what matters to them, and how they can express themselves with confidence.

  • Building self-awareness, communication skills, emotional regulation and leadership identity.

  • Helping young people understand systems, how decisions are made, and how they can participate in shaping change in their communities.

  • Integrating creative arts, movement and hands-on activities to support engagement, expression and deeper learning.

  • Supporting participants to design and implement projects that respond to real issues in their communities, building practical skills and a sense of contribution.

  • We offer a suite of programs that can be tailored to different settings, including:

    • School-based delivery aligned to VCE VM Personal Development Skills

    • Community-based programs

    • Advanced leadership pathways for older cohorts

“We got to learn more deeply about issues that we don’t really openly talk about .”
