The Aberdeenshire Youth Council represents young people from all over the Shire on issues important to young people.

The membership is made up of the 6 Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament from Aberdeenshire, as well as 6 additional Youth Councillors - usually one for each council area - who are selected through an election process, through the Aberdeenshire Youth Forum who currently have over 150 members.

The job of these 12 young people is to make sure that politicians and decision makers in Aberdeenshire know how young people feel and know what issues need to be addressed.
 
To do this, they meet every two months to discuss what problems young people in their area are facing and how they could be tackled and solved. They then present this information to the council and community partners in order to see if their can be changes or solutions to make improvements
 
If you are a young person who lives, works, or goes to school or college in Aberdeenshire, AYC is here to represent you. 

If there is something you think should be changed in the Shire, get in touch with one of your local Youth Councillors and be sure we will work hard to get the solution you want.
