In her spare time, she loves exploring different walks and hikes around our beautiful district with her husband and two children.

Working with youth is something Courtney is passionate about. When making the decision to stand for the YMCA, board she looked at the organisation and discovered we had great values and she loved that it showed initiative when it comes to “Investing in the Next Generation”. Courtney is looking forward to being involved at a governance level learning all that that entails.

Building Resilience in our youth is what the YMCA do!This year, the #WorldYouthSkillsDay focuses on resilience. Young people are particularly vulnerable because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here are two examples from Ghana and from Europe of what YMCAs did to support young people so that they were equipped and empowered to face the future #WYSD2020
