Hire a young developer!
We challenge associations to hire young people to develop community activities.
Liiveri grants funding for development projects that allow associations to hire young people to develop their community. The purpose of the support is to make young people's fresh expertise available to the community and to offer young people jobs in their own area and field. In this call, young people are defined as people aged 18–29.
- Small development projects with a budget of €2,000–8,000 are available for hire.
- The support for the jacket is 80 %. The remaining 20 % is for the applicant's own money or donations for the project.
- Eligible costs in the project include, among others, salary costs, purchasing services, travel costs, material costs, and unpaid work for the benefit of the project.
- The association can use the funding to hire one or more young people. The employment relationship can be part-time or full-time. It can also be scheduled during the summer.
- Associations and foundations can apply for support To the Liveri region.
