Andy Gorley
Andy recognised that the culture of young people was dominated by alcohol and that excessive consumption of alcohol and other substances can lead to dangerous and life altering behaviours. Therefore, Red Frogs mission is to provide a positive peer presence in alcohol-fuelled environments where young people gather, educate young people on safe partying behaviours, and promote and provide non-alcoholic and/or diversionary activities that engage young people in their environments.
Red Frogs is now the largest support network in Australia for schoolies, festivals and universities students, while also supporting sports and skateboarding events. Currently the Red Frogs Chaplaincy program coordinates over 4,000 volunteers to run its programs. Red Frogs has grown to include Canada, UK, South Africa, Zimbabwe and New Zealand.
Andy hold a degree in accounting from the Queensland University of Technology. He has been a pastor at Citipointe Brisbane since 1989. He is presently the Chaplain for the Queensland Reds Rugby Union and National Basketball League team, the Brisbane Bullets.
Topic: Andy will present interactive sessions on global trends in university student culture, emphasizing early intervention and harm prevention strategies. He will also cover key aspects of volunteer recruitment and retention, and the development of holistic student well-being programs.
