Meet Alex
Hi, I’m Alex.
I’m a Youth Employment Mentor at Connecting Futures, supporting young people to find work and build strong connections within their community. I’ve come from a background with a wide range of jobs and lots of volunteering, including with organisations like the CFA and community music groups, which has shown me how powerful community connection can be.
What I love most about my role is supporting young people to grow in all areas of life — whether that’s finding a job, getting their licence, moving out of home, or taking a step they once thought was out of reach. I’m especially passionate about helping young people feel connected to a community where they can learn, grow, and feel supported.
Outside of work, I’m a swim teacher at a local pool, and one of my favourite things is watching someone build confidence in the water — especially when they achieve something that once felt impossible. That moment of growth is what motivates me in everything I do.
I try to live by the idea that the work we do now can create opportunities for others long into the future. If you’re working towards your next goal, big or small, I’d love to support you on that journey.
