With a mission to foster a love for nature and improve community well-being, Co-Exist has planted 16,000 trees and organised 100 cleanup events.Join us as we explore Kurt's journey, the challenges he faces as a young CEO, the incredible growth of Co-Exist Australia and the critical importance of youth voices in shaping the environmental movement in Australia (and beyond!).
