Youth leadership has always been central to 4FRONT's work, with training, responsibility and paid employment embedded into how we support members to grow and lead. This film follows Zak, a Community Healing and Justice Fellow, and Jahvenna from the Communications Team as they reflect on their journeys from members to staff, sharing what they learned through stepping into roles that helped shape both the organisation and their own futures. It offers a glimpse into an approach that recognised the leadership, knowledge and potential already present within the young people in our community.

I’m responsible for trying to make a change in the community and makiNg younger members' lives better.
