Student Profiles

I chose to become part of the UNICEF Steering Group at Croydon College as it focuses on volunteering and human rights and it is ​great for personal development. The college is great as it is the only rights respecting college in the UK. Also it is very friendly here – before joining the college I was able to speak with lecturers and I was made to feel very welcome. I also enjoy the mix of academic and enrichment activities that you can do here. As part of the UNICEF Group, I have participated in parliament meetings and I have volunteered in intergenerational events which have been fun and rewarding. The public speaking training has also improved my confidence. When my time at Croydon College finishes I would like to find a career that incorporates both the academic and enrichment skills that I have gained here.
