Voice of our Community
Michelle Rowland
South East Community Links Head of Settlement, Inclusion and Prevention
“To be able to connect industry leaders and professionals with students not only creates a powerful impact on young people in shaping their aspirations and goals for the future but, also eases the strain on our schools and education system who are faced with difficulties in resources and facilities. Through the power of collective action and collaboration, schools who have opened their doors to IBY have seen the effectiveness of empowering students and young people who are disadvantaged to embrace their true potential. Together, we have been able to create an ecosystem of support, where students feel seen, heard, and encouraged to dream big.”
