Day five of #VolunteersWeek and we’re focusing on our final theme: Friendship! Maybe a less spoken about benefit of volunteer work but just as important.

Have a read of what friendship and volunteering means to Sam.

It’s day four of #VolunteersWeek and today we are looking at how volunteering for AYM lets us engage with a diverse group of young people in important dialogue.

Have a look at why Hannah loves volunteering with AYM!

It’s day three of #VolunteersWeek and today we are focusing on representation! AYM gives us the chance to represent ourselves and young people in Aberdeen in an authentic and meaningful way at a local, national, and international level.

Have a look at what Mariah has to say!

For day two of #VolunteersWeek we focused on the first of our four themes that make volunteering with AYM so rewarding: Expression!

Have a look at what motivates Lily and Rebecca to volunteer with us 👇

It’s #VolunteersWeek 🥳

This week some of our members will be sharing why they love volunteering with AYM and what they feel they get out of being in the group.

Come with us as we celebrate the efforts of our members who work to make Aberdeen a more young person friendly city!

Our latest lunchtime roadshows were a massive success! Thank you to everyone who got involved. Keep an eye out for us in your schools during future AYM roadshows! #voiceschangefutures

Another quarter, another successful meeting with the co-leaders! Great to talk through all things AYM and to plan some collaborations for the year ahead #voiceschangefutures

Great meeting last week with the elected members talking all things young Aberdonian! #voiceschangefutures @aberdeencc.bsky.social

We kicked off 2025 yesterday with our first monthly meeting!

Great to reflect on last year, and what we can do this year to make things at AYM better than ever #voiceschangefutures

We had our final AYM meeting of 2024 last night!

Full of festiveness but also a great session with @aberdeencc.bsky.social on equalities and what we want to see in the coming years.

🟠True or false: anyone from Aberdeen can sail across the sea on a Tall Ship?

Did you vote true? It’s actually false! This is a special opportunity just for young people!

Try answering tomorrow’s question: How much does it cost to attend the Tall Ship events?🟠

🔴With Aberdeen getting ready to host the Tall Ship Races in summer 2025, we’re putting your knowledge to the test. How much do you know about the Tall Ships?🔴

Take a guess at tomorrow’s question: True or false, anyone from Aberdeen can sail across the sea on a Tall Ship?
