The Australian Olympic Change-Maker™ program recognises students who are demonstrating the Olympic spirit - friendship, sportsmanship and striving for excellence – both on and off the playing field, through leadership and driving positive change in their school or local community.

Nominate your Change-Makers
Identify up to TWO Year 10, 11 or 12 students who actively demonstrate leadership thought sport and/or use sport as a vehicle to improve health and wellbeing and drive social change in their school or local community.
For years the Australian Olympic Change-Maker program has showcased the incredible work being achieved by young Australians. From major projects, to small acts of positivity, we have seen the impact youth can have on their communities. Activities undertaken by Change-Makers have included, volunteering at their local sporting clubs, supporting seniors in their community, coaching juniors, and organising school activities to promote health and well being.
This is a fantastic opportunity to recognise and applaud students for their achievements.

How it Works
Nominate up to two students per school from years 10-12 who demonstrate Olympic Spirit and are driving change in their school or communities.
