It’s fun everyday! Being around young people is awesome. I really enjoy building relationships and inspiring young people to fulfill their potential and be the best they can be.
I have been a community youth worker for the last 7 years and being a part of 24-7 was great as I’m now a part of the bigger picture and around a team of awesome passionate youth workers.
Don’t compare yourself to others, find out who you really are and be the best YOU you can be. Believe in yourself and dream big.
