Internship in advocacy at jagvillhabostad.nu in fall 2024

Do you want to help spread awareness about housing as a human right? Do you want to learn more about advocacy, project management and strategic communication? We are now looking for an intern for the fall semester 2024 with a focus on advocacy. 

About jagvillhabostad.nu

jagvillhabostad.nu is Sweden's only housing policy association for young people. Our most important mission is to stand up for all young people's right to safe housing by monitoring and acting on young people's needs, rights and interests. We do this through our three areas of activity: information, education and advocacy. We are non-partisan and non-religious and our activities are based on feminist, anti-racist and democratic principles with regard to climate and the environment.

About the traineeship

The traineeship will follow a clear work plan with objectives that we jointly formulate at the beginning of the traineeship. As a trainee, you will work closely with your assigned supervisor and participate in the day-to-day operational work as well as be assigned smaller projects that you as a trainee will carry out under supervision. In advocacy, this means, for example, participating in the work on political events, reports, political campaigns, press and external communication.

Praktiken sker på heltid och vi ser helst att praktikperioden är en termin. Vårt kansli består av en kanslichef, en kommunikatör och en verksamhetsutvecklare. Vi finns på plats i Göteborg men det är möjligt att göra praktiken på distans från en annan ort. Vi har stor vana av att arbeta digitalt och kansliet arbetar hybrid. Resor inom landet kan förekomma. 

Qualifications 

We are looking for people who work well with others, who are genuinely interested in developing in the field, who have initiative and drive, and who share our values. We want you to:

  • Studying a relevant degree in, for example, social planning, political science, communication, journalism, web or similar
  • You are at the end of your training 
  • Do a traineeship in a course that is eligible for study grants, as the traineeship is unpaid

Merits for the traineeship

  • Experience of political involvement and/or experience of involvement in a non-profit organization 
  • Knowledge of housing issues 
  • Knowledge of social challenges, intersectional perspectives and human rights
