My Life: Jordan Glaze, 18, London

1 min read Education Youth Work Participation
I am a member of Prospex, a charity that supports young people in Islington to achieve their full potential in life. I've been going to their youth club sessions since 2010.

I go because I want help to find work and they always have different information about jobs, and offer the chance to participate in projects that can be beneficial to me and help develop my skills. Also, the staff are really friendly.

Most recently, I was part of a new pilot project called Haynes MechaniX, which is run by Prospex with London Youth, Haynes Publishing Group and Draper Tools. During the project, we repaired an old VW Polo, which has now passed its MOT.

I am now a graduate after seven weeks on the project and have gained a City and Guilds Level 3 certificate in employability and personal development.
