What our volunteers enjoy most about volunteering with us
Telling cruise passengers about the great things Aberdeen has to offer and working with such a friendly, enthusiastic team of fellow volunteers. It has made me feel years younger
Helping the passengers to see the best of the area and make the most of their time in Aberdeen, wherever they are from. And taking part in the many additional activities, both social and educational that enhance the volunteer role
The satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped visitors make the most of their short time in this amazing area
In Partnership with Peterson
QuestionPro's survey software plays a major role in helping us keep in touch with our alumni, volunteers, donors, employees and other affiliates. Surveying them has helped strengthen our relationship.
