We are seeking a motivated, structured, people and process oriented Youth Leadership Project Manager to join Bevar Ukraine and lead our Leadership Academy and youth engagement activities for young Ukrainians in Denmark.

Bevar Ukraine is a humanitarian NGO founded in 2014. Today, we implement a wide range of projects and programs supporting Ukraine and Ukrainians in Denmark.

The role focuses on strengthening Bevar Ukraine’s youth community through the Leadership Academy and the BevarX Alumni Club. We create opportunities for young Ukrainians to develop skills, build networks, access education and employment, implement their own projects, and take active leadership roles for the future rebuild and well being of Ukraine.

You will join an established youth programme that has been running for more than a year, with around 200 graduates and a network of 40 speakers and experts. You will work closely with Bevar Ukraine’s team, youth coordinators, and volunteers across Copenhagen, Odense, and Aarhus. This is a hands‑on role combining project management, youth engagement, partnership development, and coordination of activities and events.

• Build and strengthen the BevarX Alumni Club and coordinate the work of youth teams and volunteers. Support graduates in staying engaged, developing their networks, volunteering, and initiating their own activities and projects. Empower participants and alumni to take active leadership roles within the community.
• Promote the social and professional integration of young Ukrainians in Denmark. Organise open events that bring Ukrainian and Danish youth together, as well as joint activities with municipalities and other partners.
• Develop and manage partnerships with companies, educational institutions, municipalities, youth organisations, and civil society organisations. Participating in developing new grants. Identify new opportunities for collaboration and involve partners in project activities.

Who You Are

You enjoy bringing people together, turning ideas into action, and creating opportunities for young people. You are comfortable taking initiative while working closely with a team and community. You are organised, open to new ideas, and able to keep several activities moving at the same time.

Requirements

• At least 3 years of experience in project management, volunteer coordination, or community work.
• Experience in planning and delivering events, workshops, educational programmes, or community activities.
• Ability to manage projects from planning through implementation and evaluation and coordinate several activities and deadlines simultaneously.
• Good communication and stakeholder management skills and confidence in working with external partners.
• Fluency in English. Danish and Ukrainian is an advantage.
