You might have heard of businesses that call themselves social enterprises – they run like normal businesses, but their profits go back into causes that matter. If you have been wondering what it’s all about, what it takes to start one how a business can do good, this is the session for you! 

There are two parts to this free event:

• Info Session (12.30-2pm) – find out what social enterprises are, how you can start one and examples of social enterprises from around the world, to inspire and encourage you.
• Enterprise Building (3-4.30pm) – discover where you can receive support and advice on your social enterprise to build it up into something that should exist!

Run by social entrepreneur Adam Mostogl (2015 Finalist, Young Australian of the Year) who has helped facilitate the world’s biggest innovation process for the Sustainable Development Goals, participated in events hosted by the US State Department, the World Economic Forum and the United Nations amongst others.

This event is part of the IGNITE Business Launchpad, an initiative of Central Coast Council to help young people explore entrepreneurship and starting their own business with confidence, support and advice.

Ages: 12-24 years.

This is one of a wide range of events we are providing, in collaboration with local young people and youth service providers , allowing young people aged 12-24 years across the region to connect, create, build skills, show off their talents, be inspired – but most of all have fun - as part of Youth Week 2021 celebrations.
