Tammy is Wyndham’s Young Person of the Month and her driving message is that no qualifications are needed to help make Wyndham a stronger community.
She has been involved in the Victorian Student Representative Council for more than a year, participating in various projects including a co-design project prioritising the dangers of road safety.
Earlier this year, she was selected and represented the Victorian Student Representative Council (VIC SRC) as an ambassador for Wyndham, preparing and delivering a pitch that considered the needs of young people within the community.
Tammy raises funds for important causes such as STEPtember, Beyond Blue and Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal and is an active volunteer with Headspace Werribee’s Youth Advisory Group, advocating for mental health services for young people.
Tammy is an emerging creative and enjoys performing in theatre and drumming.
Her personal mandate is to advocate and contribute to the community to help create a better world.
She said she likes to advocate for more youth voices being able to shine through creative outlets.
“I think there are lots of communities, but you just need to find the right places,“ Tammy said.
“Honestly there are a lot of people right now that have the incentive to do things, they just don’t know where to start.
“Community centres will always have things plastered on the wall, and if you can’t go out, there are lots of things you can do online– you just need to look.”
One Wyndham recipients are residents aged 12-25 who positively contribute to the Wyndham community. Winners receive a $300 gift card.
