young visionaries lab

Young Visionaries Lab is an innovative program designed to introduce participants to basic principles of project management, strategic communications, scaling, sustainability, and impact measurement, while supporting them to develop the skills and vision needed to pursue a purpose-driven career.

Our vision is that young people can be thought-leaders and innovators in their communities, and shape bold, future-prepared career paths centred around service and social progress.

Our core values lie in diversity and access, youth innovation and leadership, and we aim to equip young people who have a passion for service, with the tools to apply their skills to furthering social good.

Young Visionaries Lab is suitable for anyone:

⚡️ In high school, university, or early career

⚡️ Interested in the social impact space

⚡️ Who has an idea they want to develop to bring about positive change in their community

⚡️ Or anyone who isn't really sure what they want to do, but wants to start somewhere that will have an impact.

Purpose-driven Career

Every meaningful career begins with a clear purpose, something which drives you to get up in the morning. We guide young people in finding theirs, and provide the inspiration and opportunities to put them into action.

Project Management

Practical skills required for project development and management, including finance, scaling, ideation, systems strategy, and networking, taught by experienced industry professionals.

Impact measurement

Impactful and sustainable projects require careful planning, effective evaluation, and constant adaptation and improvement. We aid young people in understanding the best way to manage change and social impact through their work.

Strategic Communication

Networking, collaboration, co-design, personal branding and marketing are all essential skills for an impactful career. We both teach and involve youth in these processes to uplift their voices and contributions across sectors.

YVL20

YVL20 was RADIANT’s pilot program, bringing together people aged 17-24 over 7 weeks to develop their impact management, program development, leadership and social influence repertoires. With the assistance of world-class young changemakers in the social impact, charity, non-profit and business spaces, participants developed and implemented a plan for good in their communities.

The 2020 Cohort, on average, reported a 33% increase in their confidence in their ability to make an impact within their communities. 83% said that they were certain they would continue to pursue their project, ambitions, or careers in the social impact space, and 100% said they would recommend the program to others.

YVL21

YVL21 was delivered online in collaboration with the Student Voice Network, with participants from all over Australia. Over the course of 10 weeks, they were connected with 13 speakers and leaders to develop their skills in project management, impact measurement, and strategic communication, and empowered with the tools and vision to pursue a purpose-driven career.

The 2021 Cohort reported a 10% increase in confidence in their ability to make an impact in their community, and a 22% increase in confidence of their leadership abilities. 100% reported they are likely to recommend the program to others.

What people say

YVL is an amazing source of information and resources for people looking to build start-ups, social ventures, or any kind of project. They brought in a huge range of speakers from across the not-for-profit, NGO, youth empowerment, social enterprise and change-making fields, all of whom had really valuable knowledge to share and all of whom were keen to be contacted and give advice on our own projects.
