Meet new people, bring a project to life together, and make change in your community!
Change Makers, is an innovative program run by OzGREEN and is set to empower young people and inspire them to lead positive change across the Coffs Coast.
Change Makers recognises that young people possess unique perspectives, fresh ideas, and boundless enthusiasm, making them a driving force for innovation and progress.
OzGREEN’s Change Makers Program Manager Kathleen Hannah says,
“In today's rapidly changing world, it is more important than ever to foster the next generation of leaders who are passionate about making a difference. Change Makers aims to harness the energy, creativity, and determination of young people and provide them with the tools and support they need to transform their visions into reality.”
Through the Change Makers platform, participants will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded peers from diverse backgrounds, creating a vibrant and dynamic community. Proudly funded by the NSW Government Regional Youth Investment Program this free 10-week journey combines mentorship and collaborative projects, allowing young individuals to develop valuable skills including leadership, problem-solving, event management, storytelling and social media engagement, while making a meaningful impact on their communities.
"The supportive environment created within this program enables young people to connect with like-minded individuals and develop their skills and passion through lived experience," says Sam Daykin, Youth Activities Coordinator at OzGREEN.
Whether you have an exciting idea or are simply passionate about making a difference, Change Makers invites you to join this community of young leaders. Together, we can bring about transformative change and build a brighter future for our communities and the world.
