About $20 Boss

$20 Boss is the largest entrepreneurship program in Australia and is powered by Young Change Agents to support young people to solve a real problem through social entrepreneurship and help them better understand their relationship with money. How it works is that students are given a $20 loan by their school to invest in their social enterprise ideas. The loan is then paid back at the completion of the program with a $1 legacy fee and any profits made can be donated to charity or put towards a future program. For schools within low socio-economic areas, Young Change Agents has a small fund where schools can apply to receive funding to deliver the program which you can apply for here.

Teachers can take part by signing up to receive the free toolkits and resources to deliver the program here and learn more about the different Toolkits and suggested Lesson Plans here.
