Kirsty Albion is AYCC’s Co-director and is also a team member of Project Survival Pacific.  Through Project Survival Pacific, she has had the opportunity to work with youth in Fiji, to help start a Pacific Youth Climate movement.  A strong believer that education and inspiration are key to creating the social change we require, Kirsty has been involved in many environmental education programs including AYCC’s Switched On Schools,  Parks and Wildlife’s Discovery Program, Melbourne Museum’s School Holidays Program and the online resource Ecomedia. In 2010 Kirsty was awarded Young Australian of the Year Tasmania.
