Hannah Oostryck

Volunteer Coordinator

I feel so fortunate to have experienced a childhood full of fishing, diving, boating, surfing and swimming in the ocean. The ocean provides such a deep energy and healing and I just love sharing that with others. My passion for supporting others and caring for the environment grew as I completed studies in International Aid and Development, Sustainable Development and Humanitarian Action. Having worked in the Community Development Sector for over 9 years, I have witnessed the positive impacts that individual support can make on a young person’s life, improving their health, confidence, and independence as they connect with others, their community and themselves.  Supporting the Volunteer team at Ocean Mind is such an honour. Our Mentors truly are the ‘heartbeat’ of the organisation, front and centre at the delivery of our programs. I’m so proud to be a part of such a purposeful, positive and fun culture here at Ocean Mind, and to share the stoke with our incredible Mentor team.
