Social Work Spotlight

Episode 87: Troy


Listen Later

In this episode I speak with Troy, a Social Justice Advocate in Uniting’s advocacy team. He enjoys movies, asking people if he can pet their dog, American politics, saying unprompted that’s he going to join a sports team this year, social and economic justice, and adding to the pile of books on his bedside table that he never reads.
