How Ethan found his voice
Ethan's life was surrounded by drugs and alcohol due to gang-affiliated friends and family. But after losing loved ones, he joined a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme. Initially hesitant and shy, he gradually gained confidence, showed his humour and found his voice.
The programme helped him explore different career paths and Ethan became one of the top graduates from his cohort. The Foundation took the opportunity to hire him and he now helps other young people involved in the programme on their career journeys.
