🌟 A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT 💫 WELCOME TO THE TEAM, THELMA HUGHES! 🌟

Harbrow Mentoring is excited to welcome Thelma Hughes to our team as a new Youth Mentor Casual Worker 🙌🏽 Born and raised in Cairns, Thelma proudly carries her Aurukun, Bwgcolman, Kowanyama and Darnley connections through her family and grandparents.Thelma’s journey is one of resilience, growth and determination. Having faced challenges during her high school years, she knows firsthand the importance of having the right support, guidance and encouragement along the way 👣 👣 We first met Thelma at the age of 15, and throughout her own journey, Thelma consistently participated in HM’s programs during her teenage years. Now, at 21 yrs of age, Thelma finds herself in a position to give back and support other young people facing similar challenges, delivering in the very programs she was once a participant.In Thelma’s own words, “It’s a bittersweet feeling as now I’m part of this team and see myself in a position where I am supporting others the same way I had the support. It’s like a full circle moment happening right before my eyes.”This is one of those reminder moments of the WHY we do what we do, we have a responsibility in creating attainable opportunities, building confidence, supporting young people through challenges, and empowering young people to become the their very own best version 🔆We couldn’t be prouder to have Thelma join our team and look forward to watching her make a positive impact on the lives of young people throughout our communities.Welcome aboard, Thelma 🤗🫡Bumma Bippera 987fm Michael Healy MP Bori Muy Aspire Cairns Community Limited Matt Smith MP Thomas Holden Trevor Tim Councillor Which-Way Connect Cape York Leaders Program BLAQ PEARL AFL Cape York Dawul Wuru Aboriginal Corporation Kylie Young Consultancy Hambledon House Community Centre Cairns South Together Mo Billy Mosby Connected Communities Centacare FNQ PCYC Cairns Mayor Amy Eden Shennae Neal …
