Holly Hatfield is one of just a handful of Australians chosen to go to the United Nations’ headquarters in New York next month to develop solutions to some of the world’s biggest problems.
It is a golden opportunity for the 20-year-old former Redcliffe State high School and Scarborough State Primary School pupil, who still calls the Peninsula home.
Holly is presently studying a Bachelor of Law and a Bachelor of Criminology at Griffith University, while working part-time as Think2Be Healthy and Sesame Lane Care and Kindergarten founder Hilton Misso’s assistant.
She is one of six Australians selected for the Unite2030 adult summer camp, which draws more than 200 young people with a desire to make lasting positive social change from more than 50 countries. It runs from September 9-14.
Holly was selected after completing The Youth Delegate Program, online, over three months.
