Hi!
I am Sian, I am in my third year working for Belfast YMCA as a Youth Project Worker and have been the co-ordinator of Friends Forever for the last two years. This will be my second trip to New Hampshire with the progromme and I am so excited to be given the opportunity to join these wonderful young people on their journey!
Other than Friends Forever, I also co-ordinate the Belfast YMCA's political education programme called Youth in Government and I deliver some community relations programmes in Primary Schools across Belfast.
I got involved in Youth Work through volunteering for Northern Ireland Children's Enterprise as a Youth Volunteer. I was 16 when I joined and I have been on exchange projects to Romania, Serbia and Belgium through the charity. I still do some work with them and I am now also on their Management Committee.
In addition to this, I am currently back at university studying for a Post Graduate Diploma in Community Youth Work and I volunteer for the Oh Yeah Music Centre in my spare time!
