In Melbourne, Young Leaders are using a unique soccer and art program to help young people build connections through the I Speak Football project.
The City of Melbourne is home to one of the world's most culturally diverse communities, with 140 cultures represented, from Victoria's original Indigenous inhabitants to more recent migrants from Europe, Africa and Asia.
However, adjusting to life in a new city can be hard for young people. For the past five years, Young Leaders have been using football to create a supportive environment for over 6,000 young people, who can often feel a sense of loneliness when they first arrive.
