In her talk Vicki will let us know that our young people are not OK, and that we need to shift, individually and as a society, to fix this. It really does take a village to raise a child and just having one trusted confidant can make all the difference. Good mentoring is a gift we all have the power to give. It is a gift that can change a life.
Through her role as founder and CEO of Raise Foundation, Vicki is committed to impacting adolescent wellbeing in Australia. With a wide range of education, skills and experience working with young people and leading an organisation for social purpose, Vicki has grown Raise from scratch to a large registered charity with a team of 52 staff, and a portfolio of 68 mentoring programs supporting thousands of young Australians across NSW, Victoria and Queensland.
Founding and managing Raise is part of Vicki’s lifelong ambition to make a significant contribution to the wellbeing of youth, and she works hard to ensure the mentoring programs delivered by Raise positively inspire thousands of mentees (and mentors) in Australia.
