I wanted to become a Jamie’s Farm Youth Champion because it offered a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on young people’s lives. Being a Jamie’s Farm Youth Champion provided a chance to play a pivotal role in transforming lives through the power of nature and community. I’m passionate about fostering a sense of community and connection, and this role offers an opportunity to inspire change and make a lasting difference in the journeys of other young people. Plus, being part of a team dedicated to uplifting youth is incredible rewarding and aligns with my own values.
If I was PM for a day, I would advocate for policies that create affordable housing options for young people, helping them achieve independence without so much financial strain. I would increase funding for mental health resources in schools and communities, ensuring that young people have access to counselling and support. I would also implement initiatives to create job opportunities and internships specifically for young people, making it easier for them to enter the workforce.
