Generate is your platform to take real action in the campaign to end global poverty. You don’t need to have specialist skills or give up all your time; you just need to be passionate and motivated to create change. Generate is a structured program that encourages you to think and act big. We’ll teach you how to lead in your community and give you the tools you need to make more than just small changes.

As a Generator, you’ll be trained in areas like public speaking, event management, campaigning, promotions and lobbying, and be connected with a community of other young people doing the same thing all over the country. Through fundraising and active campaigning you will make a significant contribution to Oaktree’s efforts in the fight against poverty.

The program runs for seven months, from mid-March to mid-October, and is designed to fit around work or study with downtime in June/July and graduation before end-of-year exams. Participants attend two-hour weekly sessions and commit about four hours a week to the program.
