INTRODUCING FUTURE TEN
Powered by Heritage Skills • Sharpened by Innovation • DRIVEN BY YOUTH • Backed by Mentors
We're building a new generation of changemakers. They’re building their own history from scratch not inherited, not handed down and definitely not preserving a system that doesn’t serve them.
No
experience
Needed!
Just curiosity, commitment to creativity, the courage to try something different and the courage to grow.
YOUTH AGENCY
This isn’t a club – it’s a Youth launchpad
Young people are in charge of their own future not just being told what to do, Urban Cure is giving real power to design projects, influence decisions and build solutions that matter.
Youth will be supported to lead & create, so change happens in their city, neighbourhood or school. From seeing ideas brought to life; green enterprise to heritage skills and youth media.
Led by young people rooted in gender equity, diversity, inclusion, belonging
