Alicja

Alicja is a natural leader from Gdańsk, a city on the Baltic coast of Poland. She currently lives with her father and younger brother, but prior to the divorce of her parents at age thirteen, Alicja’s ailing grandmother also lived with them. The special relationship with her grandmother, and the responsibilities of helping to take care of her, instilled within Alicja a sensitivity and compassion for the elderly that continues to shape her dreams today. Alicja grew up in the church and felt led to commit her life to God. Through her involvement with Young Life, Alicja became more open with people and began to see value and purpose in her life. Alicja recognized the calling of God to live devoted to him and as a Young Life leader is compelled to meet as many kids as she can in her community.

Now a Developing Global Leader, Alicja is pursuing a social work degree at the University of Gdańsk. She is sensitive to the needs of others and feels called to work with the elderly and marginalized in her community. While in the DGL program Alicja is committed to starting and growing a new club in her city, hoping to further develop her leadership and ministry skills.
