“The skills I have gained will hopefully help me to stand out from the other graduates entering the job market for the first time in the coming years. For me the most rewarding part of being a volunteer is seeing people achieve things they never thought they had the ability to attempt. I love encouraging and inspiring young people to reach for the stars and push themselves to the limit.”
