Your contribution as a leisure leader

As a leisure leader, you play a crucial role in shaping the future of society by investing in youth and strengthening civic engagement from the ground up. By providing a platform for creativity, learning, and participation, you inspire young people to develop their full potential and become active participants in society. Being a leisure leader means being a mentor, a coach, and a role model, equipping young people with the tools to navigate life with confidence and respect for others. This work is not just about organizing activities, but about creating safe spaces where young people can grow, feel included, express themselves freely, and feel seen and heard. As a leisure leader, you are not just a guide for today's youth but an architect for tomorrow's society, and that is the most important and rewarding role one can have. The position primarily involves evening work, with some weekends and camp activities. Starting in the fall of 2026, Bredsand Youth Center will be open either Saturday or Sunday, which means more weekend work.
