Inspirational youth conference, Stand Tall, will return to Sydney in June with Wyong High School student also returning as a Stand Tall Ambassador.
School Captain, Samar Yousef, has been a Stand Tall Ambassador since she was in Year 10.
Over the years, Samar has worked with Stand Tall founders, guest speakers and her fellow ambassadors, to relay the message that all young people have the potential to succeed and achieve their dreams, regardless of their circumstances.
The conference addresses issues that matter to Generation Z by gathering world class athletes, musicians, public figures and inspirational speakers, who all share their life experiences in a relevant and relatable way to Australian teenagers, to encourage them to shake off poor behaviours and self destructive tendencies to stand tall as leaders and decision makers.
And Yousef knows firsthand how important resources like Stand Tall are to young people struggling to come into their own, having used what she learned from Stand Tall to overcome obstacles in her own life.
“I relish this opportunity to encourage kids to challenge themselves by not letting their limits define who they truly are,” she said.
This year’s conference is expected to engage with around 8,000 young people over the two days.
