Young Change Agents Ltd: K-12 Education
A national learning community for social enterprises working in K–12 education across Australia. Convened by Young Change Agents, this group connects, supports, and grows the collective impact of education-focused social enterprises through regular collaboration and knowledge-sharing.
About the learning community
This learning community brings together social enterprises working to create meaningful change in Australia’s K–12 education system. Whether through tutoring, teacher development, edtech solutions, school consulting, or student-focused programs, members of this community are united by a shared mission: to make education more equitable, innovative, and impactful.
With a focus on connection, collaboration, and shared learning, this community offers a supportive environment for organisations working at the intersection of education and social enterprise to grow their impact and amplify what works across the sector.
About the convenor
It will be convened by Margaret O’Brien, founder and CEO of Young Change Agents — a leading national not-for-profit social enterprise working in more than 1,700 schools across Australia. Margaret brings extensive experience in youth-focused innovation and social entrepreneurship, as well as a deep commitment to collaboration and sector development.
Under her leadership, this community is designed to strengthen connections between education-focused social enterprises and build a powerful ecosystem for shared growth and systemic change.
