This has involved me needing to be enthusiastic and professional as I deliver talks, tours, help lead camps, organise large groups and have to respond spontaneously in different circumstances.

  This internship comprised an opportunity to support PSALMS in developing their Sports Ministry and to deliver faith-based youth work mostly through sport. It entailed planning events and delivering sports ministry whilst considering the broader context/situation to develop sports use for ministry. I developed skills and learnt lots around leadership, working in partnership with churches and recruiting volunteers, whilst gaining skills in youth work itself.
