Good News Stories
Some great stories from other young people , hopefully inspiring success in others .
I came to Young Devon because I didn ’ t really know what to do next . I know my dreams but knowing how to get there is different . I see myself as quite a confident person with young people , so I want to work with young people . With the skills that I have learnt through Young Devon , I have realised that I want to work for Young Devon now . We ’ ve done all sorts of stuff with Young Devon ; community projects , residential trips and lots of paperwork . Lots of different stuff , basically . Just building our inner self esteem , working on our confidence , building up the person and making sure we know what to give to employers when looking for a job . I ’ m going to work really hard to achieve my dream of working with young people .
I started with a sailing course , which encouraged me to try other things that were available . I was looking for work but I ’ m here to seek help in doing so ; as it ’ s really difficult to get into work . Young Devon have helped me to understand what I want to do . I ‘ m more knowledgeable in team building now and general work based activities have helped me understand what is required of me . Im more confident now and I feel I can attack tasks head on as I ’ m more independent . I want a job in construction or something on the water ; I have a keen interest in sailing now , thanks to Young Devon and I ’ d like to try a career in working on boats abroad . I feel that Young Devon have helped me to become more able to achieve my dreams , where I probably wouldn ’ t have before .
