Q&A with Darcy
What has been your highlight during your time as a YA?
My highlight during my time as a Young Ambassador was giving younger girls the opportunity to have a safe space for them to do sport. I did this because I feel there was nothing for me at that age, therefore I didn’t want the younger generation to miss out.
What advice would you give to a young person considering Young Ambassadors?
I would say if you are looking to get involved in being a YA definitely go for it! You get skills and friends for life, the skills I have learnt throughout my journey as YA are so transferable into any form of work.
What is your favourite sport?
My favourite sport to watch is Football and to play is Basketball.
What is your proudest achievement (outside of Young Ambassadors)?
My proudest achievement is being nominated for the Dundee Young Volunteer of the Year award.
What are your future aspirations?
In the future I see myself as a PE teacher.
