Lizzie O’Connor: “We aim to empower”

Throughout International Women’s Month, we’re highlighting the amazing work our staff do within the Community department at Arsenal. Today we hear from Lizzie O’Connor about how the young people she works with give her energy, what community means to her and why one of our Invincibles is an inspiration to her.

What is your job and what does it entail?

As the Senior Coordinator for Targeted Programmes within Arsenal in the Community’s Social Inclusion team, my role primarily involves working with young people who are at risk of dropping out of school or work, or becoming involved in the criminal justice system.
