Conversations with impact
Welcome to ‘Conversations with The Smith Family’, a podcast and video series exploring the work being done across Australia to help young people change their future through the power of education.
In this series, our CEO Doug Taylor talks to leaders and experts from the world of education, philanthropy, not-for-profits, volunteering, government and research, as well as members of the Smith Family community, to uncover a range of perspectives on some of the biggest challenges facing young people today.
Watch the videos below or listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
Like we have done throughout history, we will continue to listen to young people and work with them and others to find a better way. Every child deserves the chance to learn, do well at school, and succeed in life. And every student needs strong supports to do this – at school, at home and in their communities.
