Yes! That is really who you are!

“I want to be a UPG Sustainability Leader to gain knowledge, develop my leadership skills, and make a positive impact on my community and the environment.”

My relevant strengths are: Strong communication skills Creative problem-solving ability Passionate about sustainability and environmental issues Leadership and team-building skills Ability to inspire and motivate others Disciplined and action-oriented Collaborative and open to working with diverse groups Good time management and organizational skills Resilient and adaptable to challenges

I will choose problem-solving. Once, my community faced a challenge with waste management, as there were no proper systems in place. I gathered a group of volunteers and organized a small awareness campaign to educate people about sorting waste at home. We also connected with local authorities to set up recycling bins in key areas. By taking these steps, we significantly reduced litter in the community and created a cleaner, healthier environment.”

Yes, I have experience as a volunteer. I participated in a community cleanup program where we removed trash from public areas and educated residents about waste management and recycling. Through this experience, I learned the importance of teamwork, the value of small actions in creating significant change, and how to effectively communicate with diverse groups of people to inspire action

Secondary: I have completed secondary school

If I were to lead a sustainability-related project, I would focus on a community-based waste reduction and recycling program. This project would involve educating local residents about waste segregation and the importance of recycling, as well as setting up accessible recycling stations in key areas. I would also partner with local businesses to reduce plastic usage and promote eco-friendly alternatives.
I believe this project is important because waste management is a major issue in many communities, and by educating people and providing them with the tools and resources to recycle, we can significantly reduce waste, protect the environment, and promote sustainable living.

One of the main challenges I expect to face is resistance to change, as many people may not be accustomed to recycling or waste segregation. To overcome this challenge, I would focus on awareness campaigns, organizing workshops, and collaborating with local influencers to promote the importance of recycling and its benefits.
Another challenge could be the lack of proper infrastructure for waste management in the community. To tackle this, I would work with local authorities to establish accessible recycling stations and create a simple, user-friendly system for waste segregation.
Finally, funding could be a challenge, as initiating such a project requires resources. I would explore partnerships with local businesses, apply for grants, and organize fundraising events to secure the necessary resources for the project.
By addressing these challenges with education, collaboration, and resourcefulness, I believe the project could succeed and create a lasting positive impact on the community.
