Name: Erin Dunbar

What inspired you to work with youth members? I have always enjoyed working with youth especially in environments where I can connect with them and make a difference in their lives. I love working with youth especially when they can't do something or they don't understand something and I can guide them to their "light bulb" moment, when they realise that they can do it. They end up with the biggest smile on their face that they just can't wipe off.
Why did you become a Youth Safe Advocate? At the age of 15 I became a leader at camps for disadvantaged children. Since then I have seen so many children at camps, within Scouts, and within my profession that need to feel safe and know that there is someone they can turn to if they need to talk.
