Event coordinator Erikshjälpen Ungagerad

Description of the project

Erikshjälpen is a child rights organisation with a non-profit second-hand business. We work according to the vision "A changed world where children's dreams come to life". Our mission is to fight poverty and vulnerability by realizing children's rights all over the world. Erikshjälpen's work would not be possible without all the donors who regularly choose to give us their money. Their long-term support changes both people and communities. As an event coordinator for Erikshjälpen, you get to use your commitment, knowledge and skills to increase the number of donors, so that we can do even more!

Erikshjälpen has several different Youth Fundraising Ambassador who accompany you at various events around Sweden and tell you about Erikshjälpen's work and how to support it. The focus is on our young target group where we offer people to become a Youth Sponsor. We also work with older target groups where we offer them to become Monthly Donor to Erikshjälpen. We are present at various conferences, festivals and concerts, including in Christian contexts. Some examples of events that we participate in are the Gullbranna Festival, the Torp Conference, the Malmö Festival, the Nyhem Conference and concerts that we ourselves help to organize.

About the workplace

Erikshjälpen is a child rights organisation with a non-profit second-hand business. Together we have a common vision; A changed world where children's dreams come to life. Locally and globally, we work to strengthen and help children. The surplus from the second-hand business, together with generous donations, helps to enable our interventions for children to go to school, feel good and be safe. The work training in our second-hand shops also gives hope for the future to children with parents who are outside the labor market and the circular sales provide climate hope for future generations. Erikshjälpen is there for the children. And the world they dream of.
