In this episode we chat with Fatina Elabd from Youth off the Streets. Youth Off the Streets provide intervention and support at the local level with a mission to support and empower young people. Homelessness in Australia is a growing problem. Almost 25% of all homeless Australians are young people aged 12-24. Jafar Sartawy is from their Leadership Program. He is an individual with a rich and diverse background, marked by personal experiences with extreme ideologies, substance abuse within social circles, and now a deep commitment to community service and support. He talks about his dedication to helping young people navigate challenging circumstances.
