Tee Ali
My journey in the charity sector began at the age of 14, walking the streets of London with a donation bucket to support international development programmes. This early experience ignited my passion for social impact, leading me to pursue a degree in sociology, where I developed expertise in social research, qualitative interviews, and cross-analysis, particularly in exploring youth experiences and cultural differences worldwide.

As a psychology student with a deep passion for understanding human behaviour and fostering positive change, joining the Social Switchboard Youth Ambassador Panel felt like a natural step for me. My decision to become part of this initiative stems from a heartfelt desire to make a meaningful impact in my community. I have always believed in the importance of giving back, and this platform provides me with the opportunity to contribute in a way that aligns with my values and aspirations.
Leonita Metaj
Hi, I’m Leonita Metaj. I study History at King’s College London and grew up in North West London. My journey in representing youth voices began in 2022 when I started consulting for various organisations, advocating for the idea that decisions affecting young people should always involve their input. I firmly believe that our systems and processes would function more effectively if they were designed with direct input from the people they aim to serve.
