- progressing from participant, to volunteer, to staff member ‘I went from participant to volunteer to sessional coach to a full-time staff member now. It’s amazing, I’ve been able to see my progress over the years and now to be able to mentor young people on their journeys, it’s so rewarding for me. ‘It’s been such an amazing experience for me, and now to be able to work with young people and have a positive impact on their lives… it’s just such a special feeling.’
