Gemma Cross
Hi I'm Gemma, the new Agent4Change in Leeds. I recently graduated from the University of York with a degree in English Literature. I have always enjoyed volunteering and have been involved with a variety of projects - from teaching young children to horse ride to raising money for a social group for adults with learning difficulties and disabilities. I look forward to encouraging young people to get involved in volunteering as it is a great way to learn and develop skills, make new friends, benefit the local community and, of course, have fun!!
