Description:

We are looking for an engagement developer who wants to help strengthen young people's ability to influence 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, officials, and other 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 social development. Through workshops, dialogues, tests, 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 also involves 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 shared activities. Youth 2030 Movement is a non-profit association that brings together democracy activists, youth 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 social development. We have our sights set on 2030. Until then, we fight for lowered voting age and to change how decision-makers in municipalities, regions, and authorities view young people. We do this by challenging, supporting, and contributing new working methods, analyses, and proven methods for inclusion. We will not give up until every young person in Sweden has the power to influence society and their own lives. Together, we break down barriers between young people and power.
