WHY THIS PROJECT MATTERS:
• Each night across Australia over 35,000 Young People are homeless
• 1 in 3 unemployed Australians are young people (15-25)
• South Australia’s Northern Suburbs has one of the highest youth unemployment rates nationally
• Of these Young People almost 60% are at risk of long-term unemployment
OUR MISSION:
To impact the lives of 1000+ Young People by looking at new ways to keep them in education or training and to support them into sustainable employment.
OUR PROJECT:
In our drive to create positive community change for young people we have set out to achieve social enterprises with a 'difference'. Using coffee as our 'muse' we have engaged young people who are disengaged from school across the North- East of Adelaide to participate in a DREAM BIG entrepreneurship program. The 12 month program is seeing young people co-design the very first KIK coffee store with us from brand development, shop-layout and construction, how to run successful retail stores and all areas of operations.
25 inspirational young people have co-designed this coffee concept store with the aim to either gain employment at the store or use it as a pathway to other careers to build business skills so they can be their own entrepreneurs.
Inspired BUY is a not for profit social innovation organisation which strives to make a positive IMPACT to the lives of our disadvantaged youth. We believe that all young people no matter their life experience can achieve greatness.
