Welcome to Moray
Update: 1st July 2009!
Hello and welcome to the eve of your last day at school before SUMMER HOLIDAYS!!
Young Scot Moray is currently undergoing a bit of a refit, redesign, and some thought into how to make it more useful! Moray is a big place, though significantly smaller than most... but big enough that we thought it was high time each area, each distinct community in Moray has it's own section.
Not only that, but we're devoting a whole new section to social networking. There are umpteen different groups (us included) that use sites like Bebo to communicate with you guys, and you're kind enough to share the luv, and be our friend... so in return we'll keep you posted on things that you may generally find of interest. If you've got any suggestions... hit us up at www.bebo.com/youngscotmoray
Also, a contact list of Youth Work staff will be posted at the bottom. You may not know your local youth work team, but if you're ever in need of advice or help, and generally need pointing in the right direction... about anything... then these are the people you can contact, and where you will find them!
Stay tuned!!

What's New on Young Scot Moray?
What's New On Young Scot Moray?
Since everything is kinda new again on Young Scot Moray, it's currently easy to see without this section what's new and what isn't!! But in the future when this new look ages a bit it won't be so easy to spot!
However, below there are a number of what we like to call "local sign posts". Sign posts, because we're not here to give you all the answers, but to point you in the right direction of the people, or organisations that can! Young Scot Moray is almost like… an Internet version of the Yellow Pages for young people in Moray! Excellent news, huh?! Your own little news paper of sorts!!
There are sign posts for things going on in Elgin, Buckie, Keith, Fochabers (Milnes), Lossiemouth, Forres, and Speyside… so when it turns up, check it out. If you would like to contribute anything to the local sign posts, then please do by getting in contact with me (Daniel Edwards - daniel.edwards@moray.gov.uk).

Building a CV to Impress the World!
No matter what you choose to do in the future... getting a job is likely to be one of them, and in the current financial climate of the world you need to be one step ahead of competition! Volunteering, awards schemes, and finding part time work whilst at school can go a long way in showing your determination and commitment - something every employer is looking for!

19 June 2009 - Volunteer Centre Moray - Get awards for helping out in your community!
Morays Youth Music Scene
The Moray Youth Music Scene
Moray is a place oozing with young musical talent, and if you want to get some recognition for your abilities then e-mail your bands website, MySpace or Bebo page to us! If you're an upcoming DJ then we're interested in putting a link to you! But remember, all performers in your band or group have to be 12 to 25 years! No exceptions, and no wannabes! If you've never touched an instrument or a set of decks in your life... why not give it a go first?

Staff Contact Info Sign Post
Staff Contact
There are hundreds of staff in Moray dedicated to working with young people and the issues that people like you can face on a daily basis. So this section is a who's who of Moray for you... ... ... hoo...
Your first port of call should be: daniel.edwards@moray.gov.uk
If you have anything you would like to have posted on this site, have a question about your Young Scot card, or want to get involved then that's the address to send your queries to! We will do our best to get back to you as quickly as possible with answers to your questions. You may occasionally find staff are on holiday or leave, but there are more addresses below that you can give a try if your query is urgent.
Not just that but you will find a list of all the youth work staff across Moray. Most of these staff work within schools, local youth clubs, drop-ins, youth forums and even trawl the streets doing detached youth work. Not all contacts have an e-mail address or direct telephone number, but if you wish to get in contact each area youth work manager will be more than happy to pass on a message.
