Extended Interview - Jan Owen speaking with Jonathan Brown (April 4 2012)

Jan Owen

Jan Owen is the CEO of the Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) and spoke to me this morning about Young People Without Borders - A program that turns the concept of the “gap year” on its head. They call it a “start year” - a young person’s opportunity to start their post school life as a passionate and engaged change maker.

I spoke to Jan about the Foundation, why they’ve started Young People Without Borders and some of the bigger questions about engaging and changing perceptions about young people in Australia.
