- Opportunities to design your own outreach initiatives and see them come to life.
- A diverse network of like-minded people from Stockholm, Sweden, and beyond.
- Leadership experience and teamwork skills, plus the joy of working with young people.
- A flexible structure where you can shape your role with support from peers and mentors.
- A fun and friendly student community with informal gatherings and a shared purpose
Who We Are Looking For

- Are passionate about education, equality, and EWB’s mission.
- Enjoy working with others and feel comfortable engaging with children and young students.
- Have strong communication skills and a creative mindset.
- A strong drive and structured way of working.
- Have experience planning activities or leading small groups (a plus, not a must).
