Jane - Youth Welfare Manager

Jibreel joined Young Roots in December 2022 as a Youth Welfare Officer, and started as a Caseworker for the project in August 2023 . He provides 1-1 support to young people and ensures that they have access to crucial services such as healthcare and education, as well as other social and wellbeing activities.

Prior to joining Young Roots, Jibreel worked with homeless people as well as young people living in contingency accommodation and semi independent units. He has an academic background in International Conflict (MSc) and considers it a fundamental pillar in supporting young people who are at-risk, particularly those who have fled conflict stricken countries.

Jibreel was drawn to Young Roots because he feels the charity gives young people an opportunity to thrive and become the best version of themselves, which is something he has always been passionate about.

“I feel privileged to work for an organisation that not only leads by example, but also shows young people that we are on their side.”
