What is Aylesbury Youth Town Council?

AYTC members work on projects, support local charities, and engage in community events, fostering a sense of pride and responsibility. Through AYTC, youth voices are heard, ideas are shared, and future leaders are nurtured.

“The Town Council deserve great credit for assisting a student with work experience in difficult circumstances during Covid and they have placed a first-class student as their first candidate for work experience and they should be very proud of themselves. I shall be happy to assist in the future if I asked.”
