Rotary Brighton Skills Young Women to Make a Difference
A District 9800 Recognition Award Project for Vocational Service
In partnership with Young Change Agents (a NFP social enterprise), Rotary Brighton late last year hosted an opportunity for 58 young women aged 12–18 years to participate in The Bayside Academy of Enterprising Girls, an immersive workshop experience to learn social entrepreneurship skills.
To select participants, Rotary Brighton invited female students from Brighton Secondary College, St Leonard’s College, Star of the Sea College and Firbank Grammar to provide an Expression of Interest on why they wanted to make a positive change in the world through business. The selection process allowed Rotary Brighton to identify a new generation of future leaders (and potential Interactors) who want to make a difference in their community.
In the one-day workshop, the participants were given the opportunity to develop the skillset, mindset and toolkit for social enterprise. They were able to learn resilience, understand the art of problem-solving, and develop the confidence to bring their ideas to life and how their ideas could change the world.
