We are excited to announce that applications are now open for our inaugural Sydney Young Social Entrepreneur Sprint in partnership with the City of Sydney + Atlassian. This sprint is designed to fast-track young social entrepreneurs by providing them with the essential skills, knowledge, and network to start and grow their social enterprises.

The sprint is a series of intensive workshops aimed at young people who are committed to creating social change through entrepreneurship. Social enterprises are businesses that exist to address social, cultural, or environmental issues, and they are vital in building a more equitable and sustainable world. This program will help participants harness the power of business to drive positive change in their communities and beyond.

Participant requirements: We ask that you commit to attending at least 80% of the in-person sessions to get the most out of the program. We encourage young people aged 15 to 35 in Sydney who are passionate about social impact and entrepreneurship to attend!

Cost: Thanks to the generous support of City of Sydney + Atlassian, participation in the Sprint is free of charge. However, spots are extremely limited and will be allocated through an application process below.

The workshops will cover the following topics:

  • 💡 Develop and refine social enterprise ideas that directly address community or global challenges. You'll learn how to identify problems that need solving and design sustainable solutions.

  • 💰 Gain financial literacy to sustainably manage and scale a social enterprise. Understanding the financial aspects of a social enterprise is crucial to ensuring it can grow and maintain its impact.

  • 🎤 Improve public speaking and pitching skills to effectively communicate your social impact. Being able to tell your story and present your vision is essential in attracting support and investment.

  • 🌍 Learn the essentials of social impact measurement to track and enhance your enterprise’s outcomes. Measuring impact is key to understanding the effectiveness of your work and how to improve it.

  • 🌟 Enhance emotional intelligence and leadership skills for better team and community engagement. Social entrepreneurship requires a deep connection with the people you're trying to help, and strong leadership skills to guide your enterprise to success.

  • 🦈 Experience a Shark Tank-style pitching session to present your social enterprise ideas to potential investors and mentors. This is your chance to gain critical feedback and possibly secure support for your venture.
