Emma’s Placement Story
As her final year university placement, Emma chose volunteering at Conway Education Centre’s Homework Club to help newcomer children, who experienced gaps in education, with their homework. She has been supporting the project since September 2025 and has gained valuable experience for her future career in education.
Now on the final year of her Liberal Arts with Irish degree at St Mary’s University College Belfast, Emma chose to complete her placement here, at Conway, because of her passion for education, community development and supporting young people.
By volunteering each week, Emma has seen first-hand how a supportive learning environment can help children grow academically and personally.
