Robyn set up SW!TCH ID in 2009 to encourage young people to make a positive contribution to their local community.
Based in Dagenham, SW!TCH ID has developed into a large-scale campaign to change perceptions and raise young people to lead in their communities, and now includes weekly training sessions for the young people involved. A core team of six young people aged 16 to 19 organise the events and training, and all the young volunteers play a part in planning and running campaigns.
Fiona Blacke, NYA chief executive, commented: "We are really proud of Robyn's achievements. Her work is going a long way to ensure young people are recognised as positive contributors to society and we are delighted she is part of the NYA's young associate team."
