Sharing our individual stories is one of the most powerful ways that a person can effect change in their community. Rachel Chapman and Liz Rhodes both volunteer at the Oaktree Foundation, an Australian-based aid and development company. Rachel and Liz will talk about changing people’s perspectives by telling stories.

Rachel Chapman
Rachel Chapman is 21 years old and volunteers for the Oaktree Foundation as the State Generate Manager for South Australia. She is also a full time student at UniSA, where she studies writing and creative communication. Before acquiring the managerial position at Oaktree, she was a participant in the Generate program. It was during that time she got a real insight into the ways in which young people in Australia can instigate incredibly positive change for developing countries around the world. Her passion lies in motivating, encouraging and inspiring young people to use their skills and enthusiasm in the fight to end global poverty.
