Australian Social Enterprises

Operating as a social enterprise, Jack’s Shed will give our customers the opportunity to volunteer their time to a meaningful and rewarding cause. Volunteers, with the support of their support worker superstars, will work collaboratively to collect newspapers from various local businesses, then sort and bundle the newspapers at Jack’s Shed ready for wrapping and strapping and transport to Perth where they will be re-purposed as organic soil stabilizer.

Little Go Getters offers enterprising behaviour-focused resources to young people throughout Australia. That includes books, activity books, and school and extra-curricular programming to help youth see themselves as enterprising and get into action to develop enterprise self-efficacy. These resources are being developed into a toolkit that collaborators can localise and contextualise for their communities. This localisation is to help youth in those communities see themselves as being enterprising and relate to the content. This collaboration is in the model of developing income-producing projects for the collaborator to help diversify their organisation s revenue streams, or as their own small business.
