Engage Education Foundation or 'Engage' is an Australia-based not for profit organisation that works to reduce educational inequality by providing high quality educational resources to all students. Founded in 2010, the organisation is run by young people aged 18 to 25, and overseen by an advisory board.[1]

Engage partners with various charitable associations, to support quality educational opportunities for senior secondary school students. Their programs include subject revision seminars attended by 7000 students annually and the recently launched free Engage Wiki. The Engage Wiki is an online educational resource that was launched in 2015 and provides explanatory videos, notes and practice exams across a range of VCE subjects.
