Volunteer work

Since 2022, I have volunteered with PSYV (Police Scotland Youth Volunteers). During that time, I have climbed the ranks and achieved the highest-ranking youth Volunteer in the program. After becoming an adult, I continue to volunteer with them. Throughout the 4 years I have been in this progerm i have over 150 volunteer hours within my local community. 

My duties include organising weekly session activities for youths and taking on leadership roles while volunteering to ensure the safety of both youths and the public, and helping youths pass our training program, which I play a fundamental part in teaching due to being a long-term member.
