Who we are
Our Intergenerational Stewardship Table
Transitioning to an Intergenerational Stewardship Table…
‘𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐮𝐬‘ isn’t just a slogan for TQKP – it’s a principle that guides all our decisions and actions as we work collectively to improve outcomes for children and young people across Queensland.
It’s also the guiding force behind our Intergenerational Stewardship Table (IST) – a group of 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟒-𝟐𝟕 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 who want to make a difference for Queensland kids – right now and into the future.
Bringing a mix of lived experience and wisdom, knowledge, skills, and connections, the IST will inform and shape the work of Thriving Queensland Kids Partnership over the next five years.
The adults listed below were welcomed to the IST in October 2025 (via an EOI process).
A group of young stewards will join the IST in early 2026 and we can’t wait to work with them!
