Extra Curricular Network Australia

Extra Curricular Network Australia (ECNA) aims to provide a centralised forum for students to actively participate in extracurricular endeavours in corporate and community-based organisations. ECNA was established in 2007 by an ambitious group of students at The University of Melbourne with support of the Economics & Commerce Faculty. ECNA is committed to promoting opportunities available through the creation of regular publications and updates on www.ecna.com.au.[1]

Objectives

ECNA aims to benefit both students and organisations who offer extra curricular programs.

  • Develop socially and ethically aware individuals.
  • Equip young Australians with skills to be corporate and community leaders of the future.
  • Enhance curriculum vitae and employability.
  • Greater exposure to self-motivated and driven students.
  • Expand membership base through greater student awareness and involvement.
  • Enhance organisations ability to benefit the wider community.

Ultimately, ECNA's vision is to create a socially active student base with skills allowing them to become ethical and responsible leaders of tomorrow.

Need of ECNA

The founders of ECNA recognised the lack of coherent information available to tertiary students wanting to become involved with extra curricular activities in the community and corporate areas. ECNA combats this awareness deficiency through providing a comprehensive publication informing students of opportunities available, categorised by nature of activities involved and skill sets developed through participation. It is their ambition that the ECNA web site and publications will become the primary point of reference for driven individuals wanting to get involved in extra curricular activities.
