🌟 Celebrating Volunteers' Week with Lee Travers! 🌟 Lee has been an incredible volunteer with Extern as part of the iScoil programme in Athy, Co Kildare, helping young people re-engage with education and access new opportunities. "I joined Extern to gain experience outside the school system and support the iScoil rollout. The training and preparation made me feel valued, and the warmth and trust within the Extern community are amazing. Volunteering has given me a new perspective on the challenges young people face. Extern's belief in second chances is truly special!" Thank you, Lee, for your dedication and for making a difference! #VolunteersWeek #ThankYouVolunteers #iScoil #Extern #EducationForAll
