Justine is Stand Up’s Co-COO, leading marketing for its programs. With a career built around innovative, purpose-driven businesses in education and fin-tech, she brings strategic expertise and a passion for social impact. A long-time volunteer in the Jewish community, she has lived in both Melbourne and Sydney and understands the unique dynamics of each. After working on Stand Up’s 30th celebration, Justine was inspired to take on a larger role, helping to mobilise the Jewish community in meaningful and impactful ways.

Nick is thrilled to step into the role of Programs Manager at Stand Up, bringing a deep passion for education, community engagement, and social justice. His role focuses on creating transformative educational opportunities that empower Jewish youth to care for their community while extending solidarity to others.

For the past couple of years, Nick has led Stand Up's Indigenous partnerships programs, including Derech Eretz, our 20-year-old flagship program connecting Jewish young adults with the communities of Toomelah and Boggabilla. Captivated by the history and wisdom of First Peoples, he is passionate about strengthening relationships between Australian Jewish and Aboriginal communities.

Nick's background in experiential education was seeded during his years at Habonim Dror, where he developed leadership skills that enable him to harness Jewish education to inspire meaningful social action. When he's not working, he's out surfing or dancing to live music.

Liat was the winner of the Gandel Young Leader Award 2014 (NSW). After completing the Stand Up ABC program, Liat was inspired to help asylum seekers. She initiated contact via letter writing with a young girl who was being detained on Manus Island. Through building a pen-pal relationship, she learnt about the conditions her friend was living in on Manus Island, with out much to play with and no toys. Following this, Liat arranged a toy drive at her school, Mt Sinai. Liat held a fundraising campaign in order to post the hundreds of toys to Manus Island. We are very proud of Liat and her incredible effort and initiative!
