Visit to the 20th Man Young Leadership Program

The Governor-General and Lady Cosgrove met participants in the 20th Man Young Leadership Program, at Maribyrnong, Victoria. The 20th Man Fund was founded by Les Twentyman OAM and Ron Coleman with the aim of assisting Melbourne’s homeless, disadvantaged and ‘at-risk’ youth through counselling, education, recreation and support resources. The fund’s Young Leadership Program annually targets 30 young people from various backgrounds, who lack self-esteem and self-worth due to their personal, social, financial and ethnic circumstances.
