our home base board.
No young Tasmanian should be forced to live without a roof over their head.
We’re here to end youth homelessness and provide young people with support, safe spaces and opportunities to achieve their full potential.
Our Board is a vital part of that mission.
They are not people who sit around a table once a month – they understand our purpose and they’re committed to using their decades of experience across community services, social justice, finance, mental health, education, infrastructure and governance to fix this problem
As volunteers, they generously give their time, skills and passion to invest in the future of young Tasmanians.
They care, and they know youth homelessness is a solvable problem.
Because everyone needs a Home Base.
SOPHIE DAVIDSON - CHAIR
Sophie Davidson has spent more than three decades working in the for-purpose sector, tackling what she describes as “wicked problems” across Australia, the Asia-Pacific, the United States and Europe.
It was her belief in making sure young people are supported to succeed and a desire to refocus on her home state of Tasmania that led Sophie to join the Home Base Board.
AMY PARKER, BOARD MEMBER
For Amy Parker, joining the Home Base Board was about combining her professional expertise with her passion for giving back to the community she grew up in.

FERGUS, INTERVIEWER
An aspiring journalist, Fergus joined Home Base for work experience to help film, interview and bring to life our Faces of the Board campaign.
Through this project, Fergus had the chance to sit down with our Board members and ask who inspires them, what drives their passion and how they’re working to walk alongside young people in Tasmania.
