Yellow Brick Road Projects are on mission to engage and educate young people by supporting them in learning life skills.

"I am delighted to be joining the 2023 Cohort for Spokesperson training with Sounddelivery Media. I want to use my lived experience of ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) to show that these do not have to define you as an adult."
