Young Change Agents W/Disability

In 2023, Young Change Agents extended our work with youth with disabilities helping them innovate solutions to problems they see in their lives.

Building on Young Change Agents’ previous work with youth with disabilities in partnership with the Cerebral Palsy Alliance and local councils, in 2023 we partnered with Aspen Medical to extend this initiative to schools in QLD.

The program was delivered in three phases. Phase 1 was co-designing the program with 5 specialist teachers. In phase 2, Discovery Program, students to explore their own lived experiences in a hands-on way and created the seed of a social enterprise idea that empowered them to overcome their own personal challenges. Phase 3, hosted at Aspen Medical and supported by 7 mentors, student teams turned their ideas into 15 actionable social enterprises.

Additionally, we are working to ensure all our programs are accessible to all youth. Our $20 Boss program is available in a Lite Toolkit and educators have the flexibility to adapt the program as needed for their cohort.
