Georgia

Georgia joined the Children and Families team in September 2023. Before joining us, she worked as a corporate tax accountant. Georgia decided to leave her training and look for a role where she could be directly involved in helping young people, which is what led her to Urban Outreach. She is also a Youth Pastor at a local church and has a degree in Religions and Theology. She has been involved in youth and children’s work since 2014 and is passionate about seeing young people live their lives to the full. Her hope is for every young person to know there are people who see the ‘gold’ in them, want to see them thrive and will support them to do so.
