VYY recruits new project workers every year to organize various student events. As a project worker, you get valuable event organization experience and new contacts.

Boom City Appro: You can apply to become an Approcoordinator on your own or with a friend. The coordinator is responsible for planning, marketing and organizing the event.

Tutor Project: Every year, VYY hires two tutor coordinators for a part-time position. The coordinators organize the application process for tutor instructor and tutor positions.

Annual Ball: The annual ball coordinator is recruited to plan the party and the accompanying events, to find partners and to organise the event. There are many traditions associated with the celebrations, which you can read more about on the tradition page.

In addition to the Representative Council, the Student Union elects a Board each year to be responsible for the operational activities of the Student Union. The Board term is a calendar year, and we look for applications annually in October-November.

In accordance with the University Act, students have representation in the university decision-making bodies. The administration student representatives (also referred to as HallOpEds) in the administrations of the University, VOAS and FSHS are elected every other year. We also occasionally have application periods for administration student representative positions mid-term, as student representatives are relieved of their duties for instance due to graduation.

For more information about the Student Union's organization and possibilities, see the organisation section of our website.

The student organisations also offer a wide range of activities and opportunities to get involved. You can find a list of organisations in the Organisations section of our website.

The student union's highest decision-making body is the 30-member Student Council. It is elected every two years. You can become a RepCo member by standing for election. The RepCo meetings are open to all VYY members, and we stream the meetings on the Student Union's Instagram. So if you are interested in the actions of RepCo, you can come along and follow the meetings.

Every year, the Students Union seeks people to join different teams. Teams are an easy way to gain experience in areas such as event organisation and communication.

In recent years, VYY has had teams such as Event Team, The VYY annual party team and BoomCityAppro staff.

We will inform about recruiting teams on this page and on the Student Union's social media channels.
