Resumo: Navigatorcentrum is a municipality owned social centre for unemployed youth in age 15-25.
The centre is located in the centrum of Östersund that makes us easily accessible. We welcome youth who would like to find out what they want to do in the future? To keep or get routines? To challenge and explore yourself and your surrounding? To get new contacts? To get working experience? To find out your strengths and learning? Navigate in the society?

And maybe even work as an EVS volunteer?
These are some of the questions that we help youngsters to find an answer to. Our goal is to make our youth feel as there is only one way in but many out after getting help form us!
We offer our youth coaching and we work even with two groups that meet daily. In these groups we work with routines, on social skills and time management. We find it very important to give our youth possibility to try new things and to be surprised about their capability. Our organisation is social place where every young person should feel welcomed, that’s why we pay lot of attention to the way how we approach our target group.

To enjoy this project, you need to have a lot of interest in working with young people (16-25 years) because that's what you will do for a year. It also requires a lot of patience, and sensitivity to understand and capture the needs of the participants while at the same time reaching out to the participants and gaining their confidence. Many tasks in the project require taking your own initiatives. That’s why we want you to have previous experience in taking initiatives and that you feel ready to work with it even more. It's important that you speak and understand English well, because verbal communication will be your primary tool.
