Administrator for Youth Participation

The Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society (MUCF) is a government agency that generates knowledge about the living conditions of young people and the conditions of civil society. Our vision is an open and inclusive Sweden with good conditions for youth and civil society.

MUCF has been tasked by the government to work towards achieving the goals of youth policy and civil society policy. We do this by developing, collecting, and disseminating knowledge as well as contributing to the coordination of state initiatives. We collaborate with agencies, municipalities, regions, and organizations in civil society and distribute state grants.

Starting January 1, 2026, the agency's mission will expand as we take over the responsibilities currently held by the Agency for Support to Religious Communities (SST) and the responsibility for state tasks within minority policy. This means that MUCF will become an even more important actor in the work to strengthen democracy, promote participation, and contribute to an inclusive society.

MUCF has offices in Växjö and, starting January 2026, also in Stockholm.
