Much of the most important work happens before problems arise. Through safe meeting places, dedicated leaders, and meaningful leisure activities, we create contexts where children can be themselves and be seen.
Our preventive work is about reducing loneliness, strengthening self-esteem, and building relationships – factors that research repeatedly shows are crucial for children’s mental and social health.
Children’s rights do not stop at national borders. Through international collaborations, we meet other organizations and young people around the world who share our conviction: that children have the right to security, influence, and hope for the future.
International work provides new perspectives, strengthens young people’s global awareness, and reminds us that solidarity is something that is practiced – not just something you talk about.
Unga Örnar is politically independent, but never neutral when children’s rights are threatened. We take a stand on issues that concern children’s conditions, leisure time, influence, and equality.
Our opinions are based on children’s own experiences and what we see every day in our activities. Giving children a voice also means carrying that voice into the social debate.
Unga Örnar is more than activities, camps, and meetings. We are a movement that works every day to ensure that children and young people can grow up safe, heard, and with the opportunity to influence their own lives and the society they are a part of.
Our work extends from the local association where children meet after school, to international collaborations and clear positions on issues related to children’s rights. Everything is connected. Everything starts with the children’s perspective.
Unga Örnar is built on commitment. As a volunteer, you can, among other things, start your own activity group (department) or support existing activities. You can be a leader at camps or help out by volunteering at other events.
