ABOUT US
Who we are and what we do
WHAT IS ENACTUS?
Our parent organisation, Enactus, is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring students to improve the world through entrepreneurial action. We provide a platform for outstanding university students to create community development projects that put people’s own ingenuity and talents at the center of improving their livelihoods.
​
Enactus UNSW falls under Enactus Australia which is one of 36 countries which Enactus has expanded to. At Enactus UNSW, we work together focusing on driving positive social impacts in areas such as economic stability, social issues and environmental sustainability.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
ENTREPRENEURIAL —having the perspective to see an opportunity and the talent to create value from that opportunity.
​
ACTION—the willingness to do something and the commitment to see it through even when the outcome is not guaranteed.
​
US—a group of people who see themselves connected in some important way; individuals that are part of a greater whole.
WHO DO WE EMPOWER?
Over the past year we have helped in providing the long-term unemployed community education and actual paid work experience. Currently we are focusing on groups including single-parent families, children on the streets and people with disabilities. However, in the near future we envision ourselves partnering with a broader range of disadvantaged groups. Hence the potential is limitless
