Svenska Youth League

About us

A non-profit youth organisation in Gothenburg

Svenska Youth League is an independent youth organisation in Gothenburg, active in non-formal education and sport at European, national and international level. We contribute to the development of young people by designing, supporting and implementing initiatives and programmes for young people with fewer opportunities and minority groups. We strive to get the voice of youth heard and act as a platform for active citizenship through social inclusion and integration, and on economic and cultural youth issues.
