In 2017 the Glass Box team attended a YOUNG CHANGE AGENTS WORKSHOP in the Southern Highlands convened by the local business incubator – herd, Southern Highlands.

YCA is a social entrepreneurship program for 10-18 year olds that helps our youth see problems as opportunities. It provides them with the tools to think creatively, build skills in critical thinking and communication and empowers them to believe that they are good enough to be entrepreneurs, leaders and world changers.

At this workshop we presented to a panel made up of our local bank CEO, our local MP, a young entrepreneur and a philanthropist. Glass Box won the pitch event and attracted support from the local philanthropist to launch their project.

Herd – Southern Highlands, business incubator provides mentor support and Your Angel Charity is providing operational, financial and mentor support.

Three of the team members have attended further training through YCA in Sydney’s Telstra Muru-d incubator facility.
