What makes you passionate about the area you work in?
I love that I can contribute to a more just and compassionate world for young people. My work feels meaningful, brings me joy, and provides opportunities to learn and grow.
What makes you passionate about the area you work in?
Knowing that our work is contributing in some way to improving the lives and opportunities for young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds. Young people inject new energy and unique perspectives into our work.
I love working with young people because they are willing to give ideas a go and they come up with creative solutions. Sometimes, young people just need some encouragement, great peers and a few cheerleaders to get their ideas off the ground.
I love working with young people because not only are they the leaders of tomorrow, but they are leading change in the present moment. Young people have been the centre of positive change throughout history — a world of untapped potential that only requires the means to have their voices heard.
Young people have such a wealth of fresh ideas, under-utilised knowledge and the energy to back them up! Their passion and drive for improving their communities is inspiring.
The MYAN NSW team recognise that we work on the unceded lands and waters of First Nations people — the Gadigal and Darug people — and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
