🌍 Inspiring global change through advocacy and leadership.
Lower Sixth pupil Yavi independently secured a Political Affairs Internship with The Borgen Project, an international non-profit organisation working to tackle extreme poverty through advocacy and political engagement.
As part of her internship, Yavi recently organised an information event at St George’s, encouraging pupils to explore global issues including girls’ education, international development and the conflict in Sudan. She has also met with local councillors, presented to Surrey Youth Council and connected with professionals across the political and non-profit sectors, gaining valuable insight into how young people can help create meaningful change.
Through this experience, Yavi has developed her leadership, communication and public speaking skills, while using her voice to raise awareness and inspire others to engage with global challenges.
We are incredibly proud of Yavi’s commitment, curiosity and determination to make a difference, and her work is a wonderful example of the confidence, compassion and global outlook we seek to nurture in all our pupils.
