I design and deliver youth development and education projects locally, nationally, and internationally for private foundations, local authorities, and large CICs; using tools such as appreciative inquiry and needs analysis with clients, their team, and the young people themselves. I work in full consultation with young people to co-produce and design programmes. If preferred, I can train your team to create programmes, support participants, and to manage the delivery of your project.I wish to impact the world by continuing to empower underrepresented young people to transform their own lives and support their raised aspirations; so they are ready for adulthood, ready for work, ready for life, and ready to work and engage in society as competent contributing adults.
