Aberlour young people
Join in the weekend of fun
If you are an Aberlour young person (aged 12-25) you're invited to join us for #AbJam2024. This means taking part in a residential weekend at one of Scotland's amazing outdoor activity centres.
Visit our 'This year at AbJam' page to find out more or speak to someone who supports you at Aberlour.
Become a Young Planner
A small group of young people from across Scotland work together every year to design and deliver this event. They call themselves the AbJam Young Planners. Could you be on the #AbJam2024 planning group?
One of the AbJam2021 young planners shared her experience:
What's it like, being a young planner?
'You have to think about what you like and what other people might like to do for AbJam. If you don't like something, you get to use your voice to say. Me personally, I don't like physical exercise, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't do it [at Abjam]. It just means we might choose to do that as well as other things. You might also actually find fun in what someone else likes though if you go in open-minded'.
What do you do?
'It's hard to explain, you just have to experience it for yourself. Sit there and watch the way that you progress from having a funny little idea to that being the main theme'.
You make your own community whilst you're sitting there planning. You find their likes and yours. You have laughs, but also get down to it and try and make life easier for other people and get them more involved in something'.
Share your ideas
If you are an Aberlour young person (aged 12-25) and have an idea about something that could happen at AbJam, we want to hear from you!
Maybe it's an activity you like, an inspirational person you think we should invite, or an issue you feel we should all be talking about. Tell the planning group now by emailing: rhianne.ewen@aberlour.org.uk
