With more than 500 students in attendance, this event not only inspired a generation of leaders but also equipped them with the tools to embark on their unique leadership journey, as their most authentic selves. This was a true demonstration of empowering young people, congratulations to EYA for their tremendous leadership in this space.

Multicultural Youth Leadership Conference 2024 powered by Endeavour Youth Australia ⚡️ Sponsored by partners MoSocial Impact,Youth Activating Youth & the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation 💡📣 A jam packed day I had the tremendous privilege of being a part of! 💫 Personal highlights for me include : •Meeting student leaders from Manor Lakes P12 College,my high school from way back when 🥹 - had meaningful conversations with these student leaders. Once upon. time I was in their shoes too,I was Year 11 student leader in high school. Now I’ve built from that experience and am a leader in the community. Great to see the next generation of leaders that started in a similar spot to me when I was 16. Definitely a full circle moment. 💖 •Special shout out to Teachers - during my time on stage,I called out Teachers and Education staff to stand up. I had everyone in the room clap for our everyday public servants,our Teachers! 👏🏽 Teachers don’t get thanked enough for shaping our next generation. They are our biggest investments being the profession behind every other profession. On stage I commended Teachers with the quote ‘Behind every amazing Doctor, Lawyer, Public servant was once upon a time a Teacher’ 💡✨ •Leading a keynote workshop on a quick goal setting exercise 📝 the value of writing intentional goals down is a great practice. I guided students on intentional prompts having them reflect on breaking down their goals : yearly,seasonally,monthly then daily 💫 Overall,impactful event! And my first speaking engagement for 2024 🎉🥳 Students (Year 6-Year 12) , Teachers, Education staff & facilitators all had an incredible time ☑️🎊 Thank you Mohamed Semra for inviting me to be involved in this conference ⚡️ Thank you Mahamed Ahmed for providing me with the slides and goal framework for the exercise I led ✨ 📍Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre #YouthLeadership #YouthConference #YouthImpact #EndeavourYouthAustralia

Last week, Youth Activating Youth Co-Founder and CEO Ahmed Hassan visited La Trobe University, to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the two organisations, marking a huge milestone in YAY's history. The MoU opens the door for effective collaboration between Youth Activating Youth and La Trobe University and includes a wide range of access and services to best support multicultural youth. "Youth Activating Youth has been supporting young people for over 9 years and to be able to partner with a top University like La Trobe is not only an acknowledgement of how far Youth Activating Youth has come, but of what we can do to further assist young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The expertise that La Trobe will be bringing to the table cannot be understated." said CEO Ahmed Hassan.
