Welcome to the Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs

The Swedish National Board for Youth Affairs is a government agency that works to ensure that young people have access to influence and welfare.

We do this by:

• producing and communicating knowledge about young people’s living conditions;
• following up the objectives set for national youth policy by the Riksdag (the Swedish Parliament) and the Government and by supporting municipalities in their youth policy work;
• distributing funds to the civil society in the form of support for organisations, projects and international cooperation. All the support we distribute is given on behalf of the Swedish government.

Our target groups are:

• decision-makers;
• civil servants;
• organisations (working with young people, women, homosexual, bisexual and transgender people, national minorities, ethnic minorities etc.).
