NEW PART-TIME FIELD WORKER AT CIYD
Geoff ?Titch? Hamilton, 35, from Lurgan, has joined the Church of Ireland Youth Department (CIYD) as a part-time fieldworker.
A joiner by trade, ?Titch? studied youth work with the Oasis Trust and took a course in missiological studies at All Nations Christian College in London. He hopes to graduate this year with a degree in Community Youth Work from the University of Ulster.
?Titch? worked with the Anglican Church in Montevideo, Uruguay developing joinery workshops for young unemployed men under the auspices of the South American Mission Society (SAMS) before returning to Ireland as SAMS Development Officer.
He says: ?My involvement with voluntary church based youth work in Lurgan cultivated my interest. The opportunity then came along to combine my joinery skills with youth work at the Scripture Union in Ireland centre at Ovoca Manor, County Wicklow.?
?Titch? is married to Jill who is a primary school and reading recovery teacher.
