Middle Years and Youth Services

Faizi - Team Coordinator

Hi, I'm Faizi and I’m the Coordinator of Middle Years and Youth Services at City of Port Phillip.

Improving the quality of life and wellbeing of others is my passion and pursuit. With a strong sense of service, I want to utilize knowledge of clients’ behaviour and provide an appropriate support system to assist them with living a vigorous life.

I love spending time with my family especially my sons, playing guitar, getting to the gym, playing sport, eating, and exploring different cuisines.

Daniel - Youth Services Team Leader

Hi, I’m Daniel and I am the Youth Services Team Leader at the City of Port Phillip.

My goal at Council is to promote inclusivity and participation for young people by developing projects and linking services. I love working with young people and being given the opportunity to have a positive impact on their lives.  

Some of my interests include travelling, playing guitar, going to see live music and watching the footy (go Cats!)

Jordanna - Middle Years & Youth Support Worker

Hi, I'm Jordie and I am the Middle Years and Youth Support Lead Worker at the City of Port Phillip Council.

I am passionate about making a positive impact on young people’s lives, helping them navigate challenges, and supporting their personal and social development.

When I’m not working with young people, you can find me spending time with my daughter, brunching with friends, or planning my next holiday.

Jay-Dee - Youth Engagement and Participation Officer

Hi, I'm Jay-Dee, the Youth Engagement and Participation Officer at Port Phillip!

My role involves facilitating our two volunteer youth committees, the Youth Advisory Committee and the FReeZA committee.

I'm passionate about working with young people to achieve their dreams, encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones and try new and exciting things as well as connect with like-minded young people.

When I'm not at work you'll find me behind the decks spinning some tunes, taking photos, going to gigs, painting or riding my bike (yes, I have A LOT of hobbies, I know!).

Scobie - Youth Program and Development Officer

Hi, I’m Scobie and I’m the Youth Program and Development Officer at the City of Port Phillip.

I’m a staunch advocate of youth-led community building initiatives and strive to facilitate high level co-design projects with young people. I believe young people with lived experience are best placed to build solutions to the challenges they face, and my role is to listen and support them to affect change in their communities.

When I’m not working with young people, you can find me frantically cooking up a new story as a journalist and filmmaker.
