This position is ideal for you if you are a youth coordinator or studying to become one—for example, in youth work, social work, teaching, behavioral science, or another pedagogical or social education program—and you want to combine your studies with practical experience in youth work. The mobile youth center is a flexible, outreach-based activity that meets young people where they are—in different parts of the municipality, at meeting places, during activities and events.

During school breaks, we also work with younger age groups. The activity's overarching goal is to strengthen young people's personal and social development. We work based on a clear value foundation grounded in human rights, equal worth for all, and a norm-critical and inclusive approach. Through presence and active outreach work, we capture ideas, needs, and initiatives—and make them possible. We are part of the KEKS network (Quality and Competence in Collaboration) and work with a strong focus on participation and influence, where young people's voices have a real place.
