Our social enterprise model offers low cost or pro bono strategic assistance to social enterprises.

Strategic Mentoring in Design, Communication and Impact

This mentoring assists fellow women-owned, LGBTIQ, or indigenous-led organisations to receive assessment and guidance on their communications, design, impact strategy and a chance to talk through their current strategies for feedback.

We offer this support to help organisations with a ‘strategy first’ approach, which we have found is very effective in helping design, communications, and impact to align with and support the organisation in the right way.

We value the experiences of students and want to ‘give back’ by providing work experience opportunities for students in design-related fields.

In 2018 we had two work experience students, and four students in 2019. Our assistant students have helped with animation, videography, press releases, article writing and graphic design.

In 2019 we also engaged two teams of 6 students on two projects: researching business opportunities, and Sustainable Development Goal alignment with the University of Sydney via Practera.

In 2020 we worked with 2 students from Griffith Honours College and 2 further work experience students in journalism and impact storytelling.

In 2021 we worked with 3 students from Griffith Honours College, working in impact storytelling.
