Engagement Developer Youth Hub Värmland

Description:

We are looking for an engagement developer who wants to help strengthen young people's opportunities to have a say in Värmland. As an engagement developer, you are responsible for creating engagement, building relationships, and implementing activities that strengthen young people's influence and participation. You work closely with young people, but also with decision-makers, civil servants, and other collaboration partners who want to develop their work with youth influence. About the Project Youth Hub Värmland is a development project where Youth 2030 Movement, together with Region Värmland and other regional and local actors, explores how the public sector can better include young people in decisions and societal development. Through workshops, dialogues, pilots, and co-creation with young people, the project develops new working methods and structures that make youth influence possible. The role is based at the Region's office in Karlstad and includes travel within Värmland. About Youth 2030 Movement We are a small organization where everyone contributes to the association's overall work as needed. We support each other and participate in joint activities. Youth 2030 Movement is a non-profit association that brings together democracy activists, young leaders, children's rights advocates, and allied adults. We are convinced that Sweden needs a power shift – that democracy becomes greater and stronger if young people have more influence over societal development. We have our sights set on 2030. Until then, we fight for a lowered voting age and to change decision-makers' views of young people in municipalities, regions, and authorities. We do this by challenging, supporting, and contributing new working methods, analyses, and proven inclusion practices. We will not give up until every young person in Sweden has the power to influence society and their own lives. Together, we tear down barriers between young people and power.
