Hi I’m River, I work at Green Collect as their Pathway Support Coordinator. I am helping to develop and implement job programs that assist people who face barriers to employment. Green Collects primary purpose is to foster a circular economy, focusing on resource recovery by sorting through items to save them from landfill. This amazing work also creates job opportunities, which is where my role sits.

I am also working toward creating my own social enterprise that uses ideas around intersectional feminism to create communities through workshops and other social groups. I am focusing on how attitudes around self-worth, belonging and value correlate with issues faced by young people around the ages of 14-25.
