As a community organisation, you have big ambitions for changing the world—but perhaps not the resources to match.

And as a leading university, UTS attracts smart, talented and ambitious people who want to change the world too.

We help both community organisations and students through two initiatives: UTS Shopfront program and UTS SOUL program. These sister programs connect your ambitions with university resources, passionate students and industry experts.

Shopfront students solve your real-world challenges through their coursework projects. That could mean: business planning, design assets or research reports. Students will work with you to understand your needs in order to brainstorm and deliver effective solutions. 

If Shopfront doesn’t fit your needs, meet SOUL. This social impact action program connects you with students who can lend a hand for a few hours or for up to three months. This vibrant pool of students from all faculties and all stages of study are actively looking to use their time, skills and passion for social good. 

Through both programs, students gain experience and your organisation gets closer to fulfilling its vision. It’s a win-win.

So let’s turn your ambition into action, together.
