We promote the inclusion of marginalised communities as decision-makers in shaping the programs, services and laws which affect them, and as equal partners within the social change sector.

CAPACITY BUILDING | We nurture social change leadership at the grassroots by offering accessible and culturally responsive professional development to aspiring and early career changemakers who have lived experience of the issues the social change sector seeks to tackle. We build the capacity of social change professionals and organisations to work in partnership with the communities they seek to reach and serve.

RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY | We amplify the voices of changemakers within communities and advocate for participatory approaches to social innovation within the social change sector by documenting the successes of robust and authentic community development as a social change strategy.

SECTOR DEVELOPMENT | We foster long-term collaboration between communities and social change organisations by matching the career pathways and aspirations of early career changemakers within communities with the workforce needs of social change organisations, and through collaborative networks for knowledge sharing and collective action.
