Jiang with the TYi team at TY EXPO 2017
Jiang’s selection as our
Ambassador was roundly
celebrated by our volunteer
team, as she had already
proven her resourcefulness
and dedication as a volunteer
at TY EXPO 2017 in
Punchestown in September..
!
Jiang is from Bandon in West
Cork and was so determined
to volunteer at the event that
she arranged transport and
accommodation to be there
for the two full days.
!
We are delighted to have a
have a young lady be selected
as this year’s Ambassador.
Many organisations can attest
to the fact that girls tend not
to put themselves forward for
selection in competitions.
!
We are looking forward to a
fantastic year together. If you
would like Jiang to participate
in your programmes,
competitions, lectures etc -
please do not hesitate to
contact us.
So, how’s it going, Jiang…?
I can't believe I’m four months
into Transition Year already…!
And the four months have been
action packed.
!
The highlight though was
definitely being appointed TYI
Ambassador.
!
I have joined the Cork County
Comhairle na nÓg Youth
Council and am enjoying
making new friends and helping
the youth of Cork.
I've been zip- lining at Farran
Woods with my classmates
which was great fun and a great
bonding experience (but I must
go back and try that red
course…)
!
I was selected to participate in a
women in technology course (at
Johnson Controls) which is
ironically all taught by men.
!
This year I have had the
opportunity to do voluntary
work with SVP which has been
very rewarding and I can't wait
to continue into the new year
(and longer).
!
I’m looking forward to the
Critical Thinking workshop
we’re planning for January with
TYI and my school.
!
I’ll also be attending a UNICEF
workshop and I’m currently
busy planning my 1st work
experience week for 2018.
