Steffi Brightwell

Bachelor of Leadership for Change (2020), Diploma in Youth Work & Community Studies, Certificate in Youth Work, Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (Adult Education).

Kia Ora! My background has been largely in Education, Youth Work and Community Development. I have been involved across a variety of spaces including schools, churches, neighbourhoods and youth residences. Some of my favourite work has been in the connections between each of these different contexts. Having been a Youth Worker for 10+ years, I am no stranger to the juggling act that many youth workers face in order to be present with the young people they work with. I am passionate about supporting youth workers to celebrate their successes, strengthen their youth work practice and navigate their own changes and challenges - whether that be health, financial, academic, workplace or something else.
