Hi, I'm Ruby and I am a Young Leader at Spark and I am also part of the youth Voice group called Truth of The Youth and I help at the Junior Youth Club on a Monday night. The group has been a way to amplify my voice as well as other young people's voices. Since being part of the group, I have learnt that I can express my opinions without being judged and this has given me a real boost in my confidence. By being part of the Spark family, I now have the ability to speak in front of large groups and also take the lead when working with children and other young people.
