Join Vision Generation

Do you believe our generation can make poverty history?
Do you believe that every child has a right to be free from child labour, trafficking and slavery?
Looking for a way to get active about it?

Vision Generation (VGen) is a group of young Australians who have a vision for the world and campaign relentlessly for global justice. We focus on both advocacy and fundraising and make a direct impact on the lives of people living in poverty.

By running events like music gigs, flash mobbing, lobbying politicians and Stir Sessions, VGen makes activism and global issues accessible and fun!

The realities of poverty in India and around the world can overwhelm you into inaction. Small teams of VGen members – called Vision Groups – are striving to raise public awareness and lobby our government so that we can have an impact on the root causes of poverty.

Now is the time to join Vision Generation.
