What Helps Young People Face Climate Anxiety? Insights from Avalon Bourne’s Churchill Fellowship
In the 2025 Mission Australia Youth Survey of more than 17,000 people aged 14 to 19, climate change and the environment ranked as the third most pressing national concern, behind cost of living and mental health. It's this reality that Sonder Youth's CEO, Avalon Hope Bourne, set out to address in her 2024 Churchil Fellowship.
Inside the Sonder Youth Changemakers Program
The Changemakers Program is Sonder Youth's flagship program for young people in the Shoalhaven and beyond. It brings young people together to learn about themselves, build strong connections with their peers, and develop the skills to design and deliver a project that tackles an issue that matters to them.
Welcome to our newest Grantee: Sonder Youth
We're delighted to welcome Sonder Youth as our newest grantee. The Coolaroo Foundation board has awarded a grant to bring the Changemakers Program to local high school, right here in Shoalhaven.
