Jamaine Jones’ passion for giving back to the community and spreading positive messages to youth has seen him named the 2018 Club Community Champion at tonight’s ‘Carji’ Greeves Medal.

Earlier this year, Jamaine became an ambassador for Barwon Child Youth & Family’s Foster Care Campaign after sharing his own foster care story prior to his AFL debut in round 10.

Jamaine has embraced his role as ambassador for BCYF, using his own childhood journey to advocate for foster care and promote the message within the Geelong community.

As part of his involvement with the club’s Djilang Program, Jamaine has worked alongside Traditional Land Owners and Aboriginal community members to encourage cultural connection for young people in the Barwon region.

Jamaine has worked with young people participating in the Djilang Program to explore, embrace, connect to and celebrate their culture through art, friendship and football.

Throughout the season, Jamaine has willingly offered his time to the SEED (Sporting Excellence Education Development) program at Northern Bay Secondary Colleges. Jamaine has taken on a voluntary mentor role, working with underprivileged children within the community.
