Southern Cross University in partnership with Young Change Agents has rolled out a program that challenges high school students to develop social enterprise solutions to problems in their local area.

The Gold Coast Changemaker Challenge consists of a one-day design-thinking workshop where teams will come up with innovative ways to improve their social and physical environment.

The Vice President of Engagement at Southern Cross, Mr. Ben Roche, said the university believes in the importance of young people contributing to broader social issues in their communities.
