Where Are They Now: Grace 🌟
Grace first joined Café Social as a teenager and spent more than 5 years growing her skills, confidence, and leadership, all while being a devoted mum to two beautiful boys 💛
Her journey as a young parent in the Sutherland Shire inspired a bold vision: more peer support for young mums. And she made it happen 👏
Grace worked with Project Youth to secure funding for THRIVE, a safe and empowering space designed by young mothers, for young mothers. Today, she leads the program as our Peer Support Worker, walking alongside other young women as they build their futures.
Grace also brings her lived expertise to YPAC, Young People Advocating Change, helping shape decisions at a governance level to ensure young people remain at the heart of everything we do.
And… she still keeps us grounded in dignity every day as our Cleanliness Officer, making sure every Project Youth space is welcoming, safe, and full of respect.
We’re so proud of you, Grace, a powerful reminder that when young people lead, communities change. 🌱✨
