“I first learned about Community Foundation through my traineeship at Protocol. What motivated me to be a part of Community Foundation was that I have always aspired for be an integral aspect of a company/organisation. I have yet to complete my Hatch programme at KFC, where I hope my confidence and communication skills will be improved. One of my most memorable experiences at Community Foundation was the Hatch modules where I got to communicate and work as a team with people my age.“

“Community Foundation allowed me to gain valuable skills that are a necessity for a person to have. My placement enabled me to grow as a person and become a better version of myself. I also learnt skills that school doesn’t teach, such as talking to people over the phone confidently. The environment is warm and welcoming and is the perfect place to develop as a young individual.“

“My mum told me about the Community Foundation programme and told me this would be good for me.
I attended the Hatch Programme, and my experience was good because I had learnt a few skills.
I have gained confidence and also new skills I need to know in a job. I know how to make  a CV. I enjoyed the whole thing because it wasn’t boring, we had fun activities and it was fun."
