Volunteering in Jönköping municipality (SEP26-AUG27)
Jönköpings kommun
Jönköping, Schweden
Beschreibung
Our volunteering project brings an international perspective to local youth work in Jönköping and enriches activities within the Youth Department (Ung Fritid). This will be the 7th time we host international volunteers, building on previous experience and testing new approaches each year. The project takes place in youth centres in Jönköping, a municipality of around 150,000 inhabitants. These centres provide open youth work (öppen fritidsverksamhet), offering safe and inclusive spaces for children and young people aged 10-19 to spend their free time, socialise, and occasionally take part in meaningful activities. We aim to host 5–7 volunteers for 12 months starting 1 September 2026. Volunteers will be placed in 2–3 youth centres, where they will support daily activities, encourage participation, and promote intercultural understanding among young people.
