Achievements
As a volunteer I have represented the voice of
the youth and have taken the issues to certain adult
councillors. I have got a Jack Petchey award, Trident
Community Involvement award and a Duke of Edinburgh award.
This has contributed to the work of my project
and community as I have been a voice for young people for the last
four years. I have also taken on the role of being a
fundraiser for the youth council.
This relates to my personal/career plans as
after finishing my A-levels, I hope to go to university. The
youth council has taught me about myself and made me a more
confident person which will help me in the next few years.
