Tell us a bit about your business
My Future Academy was formed in 2017 as a mental health initiative and has built into a community-based wellbeing organisation. It focuses on the Bluearth Active Schools program, Kids Spartan program, school holiday adventures and NDIS support work.
Do you have an area you specialise in? Tell us about a particular focus you’re passionate about.
I am most passionate about creating a safe space for young people to have some fun in the outdoors. I believe young people spend too much time inside and I want to create a community of people who love being outdoors.
Can you tell us a bit about your background/training and how you started your journey at Bluearth?
I studied a Bachelor of Youth Work and a Bachelor of Sport and Recreation Management so when I had the opportunity to work at Bluearth I jumped at the opportunity because it combines my university degrees perfectly.
What do you love most about what you do?
I love hanging out with young people and being a great mentor.
Thanks James for sharing your Bluearth journey with us!
