For this week’s #NetworkInAction, we are checking in with some young leaders we’ve come to know over the years in recognition of the launch of applications for our #BeyondSport Youth Advisory Board.
@mjyoungleaders Youth Ambassador, Verne Alexander, spoke to us about connecting with other young people through netball & her leadership journey!
Verne started playing netball in St. Lucia at a young age and went on to great success in the sport. However, social issues she witnessed growing up in Fond St. Jacque led her to want to tackle the issue of youth substance in the Caribbean, using sport as her platform. She is extremely passionate about leadership and role modelling to both her peers and girls younger than her.
“I believe in having a respectful attitude. Young people respect people who respect them. You have to be an active leader. As a mentor you must be genuinely interested in the people you are mentoring and be trustworthy. I always try my best to keep my mentee’s best interests at heart and be honest.”
