Volunteers
Welcome, Willkommen, Bienvenue.
Launched in 2022, our volunteer programme is a social and economic impact project.
The volunteers meet and help to orientate visitors in those first few moments while they decide how best to spend their time in our destination. The main focus for the volunteers is to welcome to cruise passengers arriving in Aberdeen and provide them with information on things to see and do during their free time in Aberdeen city while the cruise ship is in port.
The key objectives of the volunteer programme are:
- To provide a positive first impression of the region. It’s essential to impress if visitors are to come back and experience the area again.
- To create fulfilling volunteering opportunities that could upskill, engage and demonstrate knowledge about the region and give back to the community. Generate civic pride by creating regional ambassadors, who could talk up the destination and the local businesses within it.
- Change the narrative of the region’s story. The volunteers would have an opportunity to highlight the destination’s credentials as a tourism destination.
Thank you for your interest in the volunteer scheme. Although we are not currently accepting applications for the volunteer scheme informal enquiries can be emailed to our HR & Business Services Manager, Fiona Douglas on volunteer@visitabdn.com
