“Tonny Olela is an excellent leader. I have been working and partnering with him in meaningful youth engagement programs for two years now. He sets realistic goals and gives reasonable deadlines to complete those goals. He is a good listener and always pays attention to the details. His understanding of youth’s needs is outstanding, so much so that everyone working under him feels comfortable. Tonny is a great motivator. He instils positive energy in every team member, keeping everyone focused on what needs to be achieved. He will be an asset to any organization looking for a junior employee on issues of youth engagement and gender advocacy.”
