EdConnect Australia has announced Terry and Liz Stevenson as the winners of the 2022 Alcoa Foundation Peel Volunteer of the Year Award.
Terry and Liz were selected from 110 volunteers who supported nearly 1000 students with mentoring and learning support services throughout Kwinana, Peel and the upper South West region in 2022.
“Many volunteers deserve recognition for mentoring and supporting students, and choosing winners was extremely challenging. That they have been nominated is a significant testament to their efforts,” CEO of EdConnect Australia Gerri Clay said.
Terry and Liz have volunteered at Cooloongup Primary School since their grandchildren attended around twenty years ago.
“Terry and Liz come to the school with such love. They support multiple students with mentoring; it’s really just about them connecting with students and having someone they can talk to," Cooloongup Primary School Deputy Principal Mark White said.
The annual EdConnect Alcoa Foundation Peel Volunteer Award recognises and celebrates the outstanding commitment and passion of EdConnect Australia volunteers to WA school students.
