Project Manager Transition School 80-100%

«All children and young people grow up strengthened, confident and joyful - in a supportive environment and a society that enables participation.»

This is our vision and currently around 200 employees and over 1000 volunteers throughout Switzerland are committed to it with great dedication and passion. With our offerings such as the emergency number 147, parent letters, application trainings, media usage workshops and many more, we support children and young people as well as their parents daily.

In 2023, Pro Juventute introduced collegial leadership as an organizational form. Decisions are made in circles. Responsibility is distributed across roles instead of being concentrated with hierarchical superiors. We place great value on participation, leadership, communication and transparency throughout the entire team.
