Chair / Trustee
Christine has been a friend of OYCI from its early foundations as a CIC and then as a trustee making the journey to gaining charitable status. “I love being a trustee for this dynamic, creative and enabling organisation where young people’s voices genuinely lead the direction of programmes and activities. I look forward to bringing my experience in Education and Human Rights, both within the third and public sectors, 8 years of board membership at HELM, Dundee and my commitment to young people and poverty alleviation, to the exciting work of OYCI.”
Trustee
Erin holds a degree in Sustainable Development from the University of Edinburgh and currently works for an international development charity. She has been involved with OYCI since its inception in 2017 and became a board member in 2022. Erin enjoys working alongside fellow board members to ensure OYCI continues to effectively support and create meaningful opportunities for young people in the community.
Trustee
Niki joined OYCI in 2020. With experience of youth work very early on in her career, Niki was delighted to be invited to become involved again in this area of work with an organisation local to her that is genuinely youth led. With 20 years of leadership experience in the public and private sectors, Niki loves being able to work with her fellow board members and the fantastic OYCI team to help the organisation to keep growing and developing what it is able to offer.
Trustee
Laura has worked in the third sector throughout her career in a range of roles including youth work, grants administration and communications. She is currently the Communications Officer for a Stirling based charity, and is also a trustee for a local arts organisation. She has followed the development of OYCI since it’s early days, and felt that becoming a trustee would be opportunity to contribute to the development of a valuable community organisation.
