Inspiring Young Leader Recognised on International Youth Day

This International Youth Day on August 12, Lions Australia was proud to celebrate the inspiring young people in our Leo Clubs and youth programs who are making a real difference in their communities and paving the way for future generations.

One such young leader is Leo Molly Gysberts, whose incredible fundraising efforts have made a lasting impact in support of the Australian Lions Wellbeing Foundation and its youth projects.

Molly completed an ocean swim challenge to raise funds for the Foundation’s work, demonstrating determination, community spirit, and a passion for helping others.

At a recent event, Australian Lions Wellbeing Foundation Director and Lion Maddy Crimston-Smith had the honour of presenting Molly with a Dr Harry Jenkins Fellow Award.

This prestigious recognition celebrates Molly’s outstanding contribution to the Foundation’s youth projects and her dedication to improving the wellbeing of young people.

Molly’s efforts are a shining example of the leadership, compassion, and commitment that young people bring to Lions’ mission.

With young leaders like Molly paving the way, the future of Lions’ service is brighter than ever.
