We founded this organisation to create better opportunities for young people.
We exist to provide young students with greater access to school camp, educational travel and outdoor education opportunities.
We do this by collecting "donated hours" from volunteers and interns looking to make a difference in the lives of young people and applying those hours to organisations who have unique opportunities that can increase our volunteers chances of employment.
These volunteers assist organisations and community groups in providing experiences to young people, as well as developing their own unique set of skills through the jobs, tasks and activities that we give to them.
The Young Entrepreneurs Collective is a group of students passionate about start-ups and student entrepreneurship.
We're here to encourage and educate the University community about the startup ecosystem and the many opportunities that are available.
Our team realise that there's more to getting a degree than finding the best job possible.
With the fast pace of technological and cultural change, none of us can afford to be closed-minded. We believe that Entrepreneurship is more than just wanting to start your own business and forge a different path, it’s a different way of thinking. Having the ability and breadth to look at problems in a novel way is a skill which we believe will be valuable to students in any career.
We look forward to sharing our vision with students and members of the startup community, and hope to create further opportunities for these two groups to come together.
