Hi there.
Hi - I’m Julie the Civic Educator for the north west. I am based at the YMCA in Drumahoe. I previously worked in England as a teacher, but I have really enjoyed working with young people as a youth worker. I enjoy working in a more informal environment, where young people take the lead. I have a keen interest in conflict resolution and encouraging respect and diversity in Northern Ireland. I love to sing and I’m generally pretty happy and hyper most of the time! I’ll give anything a go and like to help people in anyway I possibly can! If you’re interested in getting to know more about our groups or any work I can do in Derry/ Londonderry, just give me a shout!
I have been the Director of Public Achievement since 2003, and was involved in establishing the organisation. The time has flown - and even though it is a very challenging time to run a charity, our work has been growing from strength to strength.
My job is to keep our great staff team focused and co-ordinated and to ensure that we have the resouces we need to keep our work going well into the future. We have a very exciting range of projects, all of which are run by highly skilled teams, and involve important collaborative relationships.
Before working with PA I was involved in setting the organisation up, and my background was community relations youth work previously at the Youth Council, prior to that at the University of Ulster, and initially through the Peace People as a participant, volunteer and staff member.
