Leading Youth Forward (LYF) is a volunteer-run organisation, providing a structured mentoring and development program to around 80 at-risk Perth teens in years 7 to 10.

Teens are carefully matched with a mentor typically aged between 22 - 39, who provides one-on-one support and encouragement to build confidence, nurture personal growth and positively influence their teen at a critical stage in their life. We run five teen events a year, including one weekend-long camp and four ‘Big Days Out’.

The Publicity Officer assists with generating awareness for LYF as part of the Publicity team. They let the wider community know what we do, how awesome we are at doing it and where we need help. There are so many facets to LYF and each of them needs to be highlighted throughout the year - from our mentors, to the teens themselves, and all our awesome sponsors and supporters.
