Senior Fundraising Manager for Foundations 80%

«For every child in Switzerland, a fulfilled childhood and a self-determined, responsible upbringing.»

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

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