Harlow Youth Councillor

people should be cheaper and youths should be treated equally in
the same way as older people are.

Achievements
As a volunteer I have done presentations,
contributed to meetings, helped the community and attended Young
Peoples’ Day and the Holocaust Memorial.
It has helped me become confident in making
young peoples’ voices heard and giving me a better understanding of
community issues.
This relates to my personal/career plans as
when I leave school I would like to become a P.E. teacher.
The presentation skills I am learning will help me communicate
better with others.
