Enhancing Community Connections

I became an advocate for EquiEnergy Youth because I was inspired by their want to reduce suffering amongst young people, but in particular by their approach - they call on adults within the community to engage and act, and therefore not only learn how to support others, but by osmosis, learn how to better support themselves.

“If we can help, we must”
Sometime predawn on the road to Sydney International Airport in April 2014, Stephen Spencer proclaimed to his close mates, Ben and Craig – “I have an idea and I need your help”.
