 | Trisha Broadbridge
2006 AwardYouth LeaderTrisha Broadbridge is one of the Reach Foundation's "original crew" (young leaders), and since 2000 has been facilitating and inspiring groups of teenagers in activity based educational programs helping them improve overall levels of self-esteem. She specialises in leading workshops and camps that give teenagers a place where they can go a little crazy, connect with others and be heard. After losing her husband, Troy Broadbridge, in the 2004 Asian Tsunami, Trisha joined forces with the Reach Foundation to establish the Reach Broadbridge Fund which she now manages on a part-time basis. She has, with the help of the Melbourne Football club, established The Broadbridge Education Centre on Thailand's Phi Phi Island. This centre assists young people affected by the tsunami, allowing them to continue to learn after such devastation. Trisha believes that "no matter what happens, you have to keep going".
