Emma Grant
Teaching Assistant/Church and Youth Worker
Liverpool
Summary
I have been a voluntary youth and children's worker for the past seventeen years, but I would love to learn more Theology to help shape how I do it. Having not attained a degree when I was younger, I would relish the study of a subject that I am so interested in. I believe it would benefit the group I already work with, as well as inspire fresh vision for the future.
