ESC: Working with young people at Fjället Youth Centre October 2026 to augusti 2027

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Kooperativet Fjället is an NGO located in Angered that is a suburb of Gothenburg. Our goal is to create a meaningful leisure time together with yoths. During the evenings we have activities, and all the activities are based on the youths own wills and needs. Our main target is youths aged 13 up to 20 years. Our opening hours are Monday to Saturday between 17-22. Kooperartivet Fjället was founded in 1992 and our main target has always been youths, but now more we try in various ways to work with the entire area and we want to involve all residents in the local area so that we, together with them can contribute to a better area. Our international work is also very important to us and we put a lot of focus on it. We are four employees, three working full time and one part time.

💼 What the programme involves

Kooperativet Fjället is an NGO located in Rannebergen, Gothenburg, Sweden, offering leisure activities for young people aged 10–20. Our youth work is based on participation and influence, giving young people a real voice in shaping the activities and environment at the youth centre. At the youth centre, we host two European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteers who work together and actively contribute to the daily activities. Volunteers also have the opportunity to develop their own projects and initiatives in collaboration with the young people. These can include sports, cultural activities, crafts, theatre, music, or other creative ideas depending on the volunteers’ interests and skills. Volunteers are always supported by experienced youth workers, who guide them in planning activities, developing their ideas, and help them feel confident in their role at the youth centre.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Living arrangements: Two volunteers will share an apartment about 25 minutes from the youth centre by bus. Each has a private bedroom, while kitchen, bathroom, and living room are shared. Volunteers should be comfortable with shared living and cooperating in daily responsibilities. Financial support: Each volunteer receives a monthly allowance of about 4,500 SEK for food and pocket money. They are also provided with a public transport card for the Gothenburg area, a SIM card for communication, and coverage of accommodation, international travel, insurance, and visa costs through the ESC.

🎒 Leisure activities

The volunteers attend the On-arrival training and Mid-term training, which are held in Stockholm by the Swedish National Agency. We encourage the volunteers to stay over the weekend in Stockholm at their own cost in conjunction with these training sessions. The volunteers will receive Swedish language classes which are part of the work hours. The volunteers are also invited to various training opportunities within the KEKS network when such opportunities are given. We always encourage and promote contact and networking with volunteers in Sweden.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
