Meet our Gen Z Leadership Board!

We are grateful to our fabulous Gen Z Leadership Board who are an integral part of our Croydon Vision Leadership Team. Our Gen Z heroes drive community leadership forward while building organisational resilience and empowering people to flourish.

Ayeza, Clara, Mohamed, David, and Daniel personify young people’s determination and aspiration to shape a better future. Their willingness to become a better version of themselves each and every day inspires members, volunteers, community partners and staff.

Our Gen Z Leadership Board is a driving force behind three of our key initiatives:

1.    Our Croydon Vision Academy leverages the power of younger voices at the core of community relations, leadership coaching, and citizenship development. Our Academy aims to nurture young people’s professional development through networking events, peer support, training and having fun!

2.    Our Research Centre fosters our belief that young people should drive research and policy to build a fairer and more equitable future. Fuelled by our Gen Z’s passion and lived experience, the Research Centre’s vision is underpinned by our commitment to developing effective anti-racist and anti-discriminatory frameworks.

3.    Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) Institute advances our clear mission to improving the lives of our community members by learning from our Gen Z. For example, the ED&I Institute has made a pledge to ensure new staff, members, and volunteers have the opportunity to truly test and experience our positive ED&I culture before they join (so we show that we mean what we say). Our onboarding and induction ensure that new joiners are welcomed by people who understand their challenges and share similar lived experiences. In the words of our Gen Z Leadership Board: “People know that there are many structural barriers and challenges around racism and discriminatory practices but they choose not to understand. We will change that.”
