Quiet achievers who inspire – thank you Sara Leonardi-McGrath

Woman who inspire – Sara Leonardi-McGrath with YFC Richie Quigley  

I am looking forward to watching Australian Story this week

Sara Leonardi McGrath reached out to me in 2012 wanting to learn more about what our organisation did and what we were hoping to achieve

I remember meeting her in a café in Paddington and listening to her story and getting insights into what drove her

1. No 1 was her new family
2. No 2 was young people  everywhere having agency and voice 

I am totally in awe of women like Sara who have the capacity to fulfil the dream of those who came before them and put one foot in front of the other to bring their vision for a better world to fruition

The ten years following our partnership with Sara has taught me a lot. The most important thing I have learnt is we cant do it alone and we can do it in silos. We must join forces, share resources, skills and knowledge

How can we all work better together to ensure young people’s voices are heard ?
