Jack Anderson

Co-founder, Elucidate Education

2025 WA Young Australian of the Year

At the age of 24, the extent of Jack Anderson’s achievements in the education space and beyond are impressive. He is a keynote speaker, documentary maker, author and a Harvard University Teaching Fellow and scholarship recipient, through which he is pursuing a Master of Education. 

Jack founded ThrivEd when he was only 18. The student-run charity produced educational materials and donated them to disadvantaged schools. ThrivEd later merged with another charity to become Elucidate Education, encompassing some 70 volunteers and expanding its reach to tens of thousands of students in Australia and globally. 

Jack has led the publication of many textbooks for senior study and coordinates regular trips to remote areas of Western Australia, donating educational materials to the most socio-economically disadvantaged, rural and Indigenous students, empowering them for success. 

Through Elucidate Education and a range of other philanthropic initiatives, Jack passionately pursues greater equity and educational access in Australia and beyond.
