Mission of Youth council

Erikshjälpen's Youth council has been working since 2022 to raise and strengthen young people's voices within our organization. The council consists of seven representatives who are involved in preparing proposals and pursuing issues aimed at Erikshjälpen's management and board. They act as a sounding board and act as a young expert group in Erikshjälpen's work, as well as in children's rights work and in Erikshjälpen Second Hand.

Erikshjälpen's Youth council has the opportunity to comment on Erikshjälpen's campaigns, on opinion issues and changes within the organization. They can also pursue their own issues as needed.
