I thought Cambridge Hub had good values, and I wanted to see if I could help make a difference. With the help of the Hubs team, I felt confident to take on the challenge. By liaising with pre-existing tutoring groups, the Hub could provide services that no one had previously thought to offer.
I really think that Student Hubs’ most important role is to inform and inspire people. Working with the Hub has had a hugely positive influence on me. Compared to two years ago, I pay much more attention in my daily life to issues surrounding social injustice, environmental change, human rights. Whenever I can I donate to causes, and this is something I would not have done before.
I am now much better at organisation and creative thinking than I used to be, and much more likely to take the initiative in a team environment. My involvement also really got me thinking about how I could continue tackling social and environmental challenges in my career.
