The ActNow make-over!
Want to be directly involved in the development of the
ActNow program? Be part of the next ActNow Incubator!
What’s involved?
ActNow is looking for young people (aged 18-25) to join our next Incubator and
help give ActNow a make-over!
The 'Incubator' is a committee of people that give advice and get stuff done.
Incubator members work in conjunction with staff to share ideas and problem
solve to build ActNow to make it the site you want it to be! The next Incubator
will be focused on developing a new and improved website platform. There are
exciting changes we’d like to make and we need your help!
The Incubator will run for 6 weeks and consist of up
to 20 young people from across Australia.
The committee will be working together to:
·
Examine the strengths and challenges of the
current website
·
Develop a vision for ActNow
·
Research and discuss ideas for the new ActNow
site
·
Create a web brief to guide the development of
the new ActNow site
There will be a 2 day face-to-face workshop held in Sydney
at the start of the Incubator, followed by a structured online program.
To become an Incubator you need to be:
·
aged 18-25, living in Australia
·
able to attend the workshop in Sydney (costs
covered by the Inspire Foundation*)
·
able to access the internet at least once a week
·
able to commit 2 hours per week to the Incubator
for 6 weeks
*Incubators receive a small honorarium to cover their

Weekend Workshop are covered by the Inspire Foundation.
