What is Fight 4 Youth about?
Leisa J Logan
Leisa founded Fight 4 Youth in July 2015, and over the years has established a range of programs and supports aimed to positively shape the futures of young people.
Working with young people in custody at the Brisbane City Watchhouse and the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre, as well as adult males in several prisons, inspired the Inside Out program, which aims to increase life skills, reduce crime, and prevent suicide. Leisa has developed many other programs, which she runs with her amazing team.
Leisa & her husband have five wonderful children. She is a qualified Chaplain, Disability Support Worker; Youth Worker; Personal Trainer, Boxing Coach & Group Fitness Instructor, and uses all these skills in developing and running programs at Fight 4 Youth.
