About Maya Abebe
Hi, I'm Maya, a first-year Politics undergrad at LSE. For my Leadership in Action project, I spent six weeks at The Childhood Trust, working on a skills-based volunteering pilot linked to their Thrive Together programme, which connects corporate partners with grassroots charities across London. I researched comparable organisations, ran a survey on corporate partners' engagement preferences, and helped build materials like a volunteer handbook. Growing up in Newham, I saw first-hand how unequal access to opportunity shapes people's futures, which is what draws me to education and wealth equality, and to corporate law as a place to bring that perspective. Always happy to chat to anyone on a similar path, or just in general! :)
