Josh Calyun- Youth Worker Davenport
Quiet, unassuming but packs a wallop.
That’s what I was told about Josh. He also has a killer smile and apparently a killer instinct when it comes to sport. He’s won more trophies than he can remember in football, basketball, volleyball, darts, golf and just for good measure - lawn bowls. Josh was awarded MVP (most valued player) countless times and is certainly a MVP at Davenport working as a Youth Worker.
Now he umpires because he believes in fairness and rules.
The person Josh most admires is his uncle who used to be pastor in WA, a Christian leader who always fought for the Aboriginal people. His uncle is die-hard West Coast footy fan and almost blind. Josh laughs because his uncle still watches the games sitting inches from the screen because of his failing eyesight.
Josh is a youth worker because he wants to help Aboriginal children who he feels can get ‘ignored’ by the system. He also wants to break the current trend in local youth where ‘it’s not cool' to be smart or to study.
Josh has worked as School Support Officer at Carlton School in Willsden and spent 2 years working as a Youth Worker at Ranges Youth Centre. He has been with Davenport for 6 months.
