Meet Sam
Sam is a young person living in regional NSW.
Sam joined OzGREEN in 2022 as a 19-year old, early-school leaver and is now our Sponsorships Coordinator and Bellingen Riverwatch Water Quality Monitoring Program Coordinator.
They have coordinated many events including a community festival, spoken at forums, hosted a youth conference, travelled to India, and won grants for projects that they have conceptualised.
"I've had so many amazing opportunities since I started working with OzGREEN. I get to channel my creativity by organising lots of fun environmental events for young people.
I've organised lots of other community events such as bushwalks, tours of local farms and a mini land and environment festival. This job makes me feel happy and good about myself and I feel really valued by OzGREEN and the wider community.
But most of all, working at OzGREEN has taught me that I do not have to wait to have a voice. A voice to make change, to be part of society right now as a 19 year old in a regional town doing what I love!"
- Sam Daykin, OzGREEN
