Jeanne’s story
I started my journey with Interchange back in 2007 when I first volunteered on recreational based day activities and camps, I was 20 years old with no idea where I wanted to take my life or what I wanted to do with myself. A friend had recommended I volunteer at Interchange, as I am a person who enjoys meeting new people and being part of new experiences.
After organising to volunteer I could see early on that this was the kind of environment I wanted to be part of and I haven’t looked back!
