Episode 22: Calvan Daniels, stepping into adultship

What is your journey into adultship?

Calvan Daniels' story is a beautiful example of a young man tragically losing his dad, and honouring his passing.  He talks about how his father’s death became a stepping stone to appreciating life and helping others.  “I am walking in his footsteps and creating my own”, through wilderness work.  Including working for USIKO which is part of his father’s legacy: an NGO focused on guiding and supporting young people becoming caring and responsible adults.

Significantly he talks about how his first solo in nature “was the gateway into my adult life” and how he is committed to becoming “a more responsible adult”. With a mission to be a positive influence and role model and a leader in the community.  He passionately talks about he hopes to inspire young people, and the 3 key questions he offers, to help their transition into adulthood and make positive choices in their life.
