2019 SALLY ISAAC MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND AWARD

2019 SALLY ISAAC MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND AWARD WINNER

Siobhan Hardiman, Team Leader Youth Services at Monash City Council won the 2019 Sally Isaac Memorial Scholarship Fund Award.

During her 12 year career Siobhan has developed skills in engagement and supporting communities which have seen her establish many successful programs and initiatives to improve the outcomes for young people in Monash.

One of these innovations is the successful Young Women’s Leadership Program (YWLP) which targets young women and aims to increase their confidence and skills as leaders, as well as creating space to specifically address barriers of gender discrimination.

In 2016, Siobhan was awarded a position as a Monash University Global Discovery Scholar which saw her and six other students from across Australia fly to London to meet international leaders. This experience inspired her to consider how she could create a larger scale of change and positive outcomes for the young women she works with in the community.
