Elijah's nomination story

Elijah has done youth work in some very different communities but never fails to inspire the young people he works with hes a one off guyI grew up in foster care and got into lots of trouble through my teenage years. After some pretty hairy moments i decided to turn my life around and made a decision to invest my life into other young people. I have been doing youth work in some of the countries most deprived communities for the last 8 years and i've worked with thousands of young people. Most coming from broken families who have never felt loved or special. I help young people work through lifes up's and downs to start a journey of self discovery that could take the young people anywhere. I love the fact that some of the young people i work with could be the next prime minister doctor teacher with support love and nurturing. Young people are AMAZING!
