A central hub for youth participation, built by and with the young people the sector currently misses.
Hunt For Change is the new home for youth participation opportunities in Australia. We connect purpose-driven organisations with young people who hold the lived expertise their work needs — and we make sure no young person is left out because they didn't already know where to look.
Nothing about youth, without youth.
No accessible entry point.
Opportunities for young people are scattered across fragmented newsletters, social media campaigns, and word-of-mouth — reaching only the young people who are already in the room. The young people who most need to be heard have no way in.
A recruitment burden organisations can't carry.
Non-profits and councils want to engage young people authentically, but reaching beyond the same small group requires expensive marketing they don't have the budget for.
A sector that's losing its future workforce.
Youth participation builds the skills, networks, and confidence that lead into social impact careers. Without an accessible entry point, the sector loses its next generation before it arrives.
What Hunt For Change is.
A centralised digital hub where organisations share opportunities and young people find ones that match their interests, skills, and lived expertise. The platform uses data-driven matching, but the point isn't the technology — it's that no young person who could contribute is locked out for not already knowing where to look.
- 01
Opportunities, in one place.
Advisory groups, co-design workshops, youth ambassadorships, events, fellowships — surfaced as they open.
- 02
A real entry point.
Young people sign up once, are matched to opportunities that fit, and can engage without needing to already know the social impact sector.
- 03
Backed by structure.
Guided by a steering committee of senior leaders across education, social impact, and youth advocacy — so the platform is grounded, accountable, and built to last.
Two journeys, one connection.
Hunt For Change brings two sides together — matched on lived expertise, skills, and interests rather than who already knows whom.

Why this matters now.
Victoria's Child Safe Standards require organisations to enable young people to contribute and be responsive to their input. Most organisations have the will; few have the practical means.
The social impact sector is facing a workforce shortage. Youth participation is one of the most reliable pathways young people take into the sector — but only if they can find their way in.
Australia is shifting toward social prescription by 2030, with practitioners formally connecting people to community engagement to support wellbeing. Hunt For Change is built to be a validated source for those connections.
Your work needs the voices it currently misses.
Whether you're an NFP, a council, a peak body, or a philanthropic funder — Hunt For Change exists so you can engage the young people whose lived expertise your work needs. Get in touch to talk about how.
There are opportunities out there with your name on them. We're building the place you'll find them.
If you're 12–25, Hunt For Change is being built for you — to make it easier to find advisory groups, co-design projects, events, and other ways to contribute. Sign up to be one of the first to know when we launch.
