The Year of Young People 2018 in Scotland is an opportunity to celebrate the amazing young personalities, talents and achievers which make up Scotland. It’s about inspiring our nation through its young people’s ideas, attitudes and ambitions.
The aim of YOYP 2018 is to inspire Scotland through its young people, celebrating their achievements, valuing their contribution to communities and creating new opportunities for them to shine locally, nationally and globally.
Our team hopes to contribute by:
- Giving our Apprentice and young volunteers the opportunity to have an input in what we are doing throughout the year, this includes working with young people who are doing their Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition
- Give young people the opportunity to achieve through various schemes such as Youth Navigator Star Awards (YNSA), British Canoeing’s Paddlepower schemes and other awards
- Recognising their efforts through our blog, for instance Lews Castle Grounds Trail Maintenance
- Asking young people for feedback on our work
- Giving young people the chance to develop their confidence through developing their outdoor skills
- Providing courses for volunteers and young people in the Outer Hebrides so they can have the same opportunities which are available to people on the Mainland
