Our Founding Director
Darian Brooker (Lenton) founded We, Future Leaders in 2017 with the vision of positively impacting 1 million Australian school children by 2040.
Darian grew up in the foster care system and had changed schools 26 times by the time she graduated high school in 2014. Frustrated by the lack of support, stability and consistency in her education, Darian was fuelled with the dream to ensure that eventually, all Australian school aged kids could still have a quality education despite their circumstances.
Darian's unique personal and career experiences have not only shaped the holistic model and vision of We, Future Leaders, but continue to influence her mentoring and coaching for staff, students, parents and teachers.
