Join us as we hear from our guest Speaker Tom Seddon President of Embrace Education South East

Embrace Education are a non-profit, university student-run organisation that offers free educational support to disadvantaged high school students in Melbourne, Victoria.
The organisation was started in 2006 by Emil Kogan, with a group of other Monash University students. They obtained Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status in 2009. Due to the success of the Monash University chapter (South East), they have established the University of Melbourne chapter (North West) in 2016. Tom Seddon is President of Embrace Education, an organization dedicated to providing free educational support to disadvantaged children. Alongside his efforts at Embrace, Tom is a current student at Monash University studying for a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) and Arts (Politics). He is also a Paralegal at NAB, a Real Estate Sales Representative at Buildstruct Property Development, and Team Leader at 180 Degrees Consulting. Besides Embrace, Tom has been a volunteer in a number of organisations in different capacities, including Refugee Legal, Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, The Big Umbrella Foundation and Monash Law Students’ Society.
Alumnus of De La Salle College Malvern, Tom is extremely passionate about social justice, community and education. Recognizing the transformative impact of learning on him, he is enthusiastic about helping kids develop their spark, intellectual curiosity and path in life. Upon graduation, Tom is keen to join a top-tier commercial law firm.

There main focus is on providing students from refugee, asylum seeker, recent migrant and low socioeconomic backgrounds with free tutoring. We also provide textbooks, calculators, stationery and other items to students in need.
