I started work as an Athlete Supporter on the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust, London 2012 Young Leaders Programme, meeting the 100 Young Leaders. These 16 and 17 year olds have been chosen to take part in the scheme, to develop community volunteering projects, take part in an 18-month training programme designed to improve their communication and leadership skills.
The London 2012 Young Leaders Programme is designed to give a group of disadvantaged young people the chance to make positive change to their lives. The selected young leaders will then also have the opportunity to play a significant role in the delivery of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
I'm really excited to be involved in such an inspiring project. Also met Dame Kelly Holmes who is a real inspiration and amazing role model. I am still quite starstruck!
