Alamin Ajayi
Senior Policy Adviser
UK Civil Service · Westminster
I help shape national policy. I believe our young people should be in the rooms where decisions are made.
About Alamin
I've worked across several government departments on education and economic policy. I help teenagers who care about fairness turn that energy into a career in public service.

My story
At sixteen I wrote a furious letter to my MP about youth clubs closing. He wrote back. That reply got me hooked on how change happens.
Public service is one of the most powerful ways to help our communities, and too few of us know the way in.
