Introducing Jesse Munzel
Age: 24

About me: As a 6th generation farmer in the small town of Gunbower, that I call home, I have always had a deep passion for community engagement and ensuring the voices of rural youth are heard. This passion has directed many of my pursuits today, undertaking a Bachelor of Business and Fine Arts, working in Accelerator start-ups, and volunteering within youth engagement roles, all despite Chronic Kidney Disease. Because I believe that we all have a responsibility to take care of the environment we live in and provide a helping hand within our local community. Hence, in a nutshell, I look for how to lead change where I can, with the aim of building paths for young leaders to walk down into successful futures.
