Michael McDowell

Greenhill YMCA

I work at an outdoor education centre in Newcastle where my main role is activity development. Alongside this I am responsible for training and support of our large volunteer instructor team as well as delivery of our outdoor activity sessions. I have a passion for all things outdoors but specifically bushcraft and hiking.

Currently I do my best to educate people on how amazing the world is and the value of nature, however It is my goal to someday have my own educational business where I can teach people about the environment and how special it is through experiences like outdoor activities. I am very excited to have joined to 30 under 30 programme as I believe it can help me to learn more about environmentalism and sustainability whilst inspiring me to take on the challenge of education.
