Zobaida Alam

(mentor and volunteer management)

Prior to joining CCN, Zobaida worked in a public sector organisation for many years in a variety of administrative and community engagement roles. This provided ample opportunities to develop her skills in working with diverse and hard to reach community groups. She has transferred many of these skills and her knowledge from a large public sector organisation to a local community organisation which is people focused. She is passionate about supporting people to overcome barriers, build confidence and make positive changes which are sustainable.

Zobaida has been a learning mentor at Create Community Network (CCN) since January 2017. Her role is to support BBO participants to work at their own pace and achieve their full potential – whether that’s volunteering, returning to education or employment.
