Young Alumni Program
The next generation of leaders, creators and game changers
“We value people’s culture, age, ability, sexuality, gender identity, religion and beliefs. We know we are stronger and better together, and acknowledge that everyone comes with their own lived experience and background. It is important to us that everyone in our community feels safe, valued, included and appreciated, and we are committed to modelling inclusive behaviour.”
– Jordina Quain, YAAB Co-President 2019
