Democracy and community developmentGeneral Information
Belong is a non-partisan and non-religious non-profit organization that works to build bridges between new and established Swedes. The organization's highest governing body is its annual meeting, where members elect the board and vote on other important overall issues. The board is responsible for ensuring that Belong is organized in a way that enables reliable control of accounting, fund management, and other financial matters. The composition of the board should reflect diversity and provide relevant and complementary expertise in order to successfully implement Belong's strategy and achieve the organization's goals.
Belong has a 90 account and is a member of Giva Sverige. This means that we meet the requirements of Svensk Insamlingskontroll and Giva Sverige regarding governance, organization, and reporting.
Mission and Objectives
Belong is a non-profit organization that believes in a future where people have the support they need to participate, develop and make a difference. When more people are included, we all win.
Main Projects / Activities
The meeting: A driving force for integration
At Belong, we believe in the power of meetings. That is why meetings between new and established Swedes are at the heart of everything we do – from our buddy matching to our various mentoring programs and networking events. Through these meetings, participants not only strengthen their social networks and take steps closer to the labor market, but they also get to know each other and have fun together. We create meetings that reduce prejudice and increase community spirit.
At the same time, we know that everyone has different needs. For us, there is no one size fits all. That is why we offer mentoring programs and activities tailored to different target groups and industries.
