Annalise Myers - Auckland Women's Centre
Teen Parent Project

A project co-ordinator at the Auckland Women's Centre (AWC) for the past two years, Annalise Myers will spend her World of Difference year developing the AWC's Teen Parent Project (TPP), which she estimates will involve some 600 participants over the next year.

Annalise's own experience as a teen mother and her passion for helping young women makes her an ideal role model for the young parents she encounters on a daily basis.

"The Auckland Women's Centre is committed to finding creative solutions to social issues and empowering young parents. My work with them will help to ensure that we are creating long-term changes and are providing real support to the community."

An important part of Annalise's role will be to source funding to enable the ongoing provision of the project, something that her selection as a World of Difference recipient will make easier.

"I feel privileged to be chosen by the Vodafone New Zealand Foundation to represent them in helping to make a difference for our youth."
