Little Go Getters offers enterprising behaviour-focused resources to young people throughout Australia. That includes books, activity books, and school and extra-curricular programming to help youth see themselves as enterprising and get into action to develop enterprise self-efficacy. These resources are being developed into a toolkit that collaborators can localise and contextualise for their communities. This localisation is to help youth in those communities see themselves as being enterprising and relate to the content. This collaboration is in the model of developing income-producing projects for the collaborator to help diversify their organisation s revenue streams, or as their own small business.
