Zak Stanley
Zak is 23 and currently studying journalism at Falmouth University. In the past he has worked as a volunteer for a number of groups including the RNLI, Cancer Research UK and Guide Dogs for the Blind. The Agents4Change position is a great opportunity for him to encourage young people to help each other and the areas in which they live. By organising community events and projects he hopes to encourage people to volunteer who wouldn't normally give it a second thought.
