The city of Kloten is close to our hearts

Kloten, with its almost 23,000 inhabitants, is a rapidly growing and very innovative city in the canton of Zürich. With Vision 2030, the city focuses on participation, networking and the potential of the population. With the LGBTI Label, social space-oriented education or the child and youth mission statement, Kloten sets clear signals. Heterogeneity is clearly perceived as a resource in the city!

The Open Youth Work Kloten offers services ranging from the low-threshold area to coached project work. Social integration, promoting young people in their creativity and personality as well as supporting young people are the focal points of youth work. Young people are inclusively involved in projects and activities in a participatory manner and take on responsibility according to their abilities. As open municipal youth work (5 permanent youth workers, one Zivi), we are committed to versatile, lively and professional training. We offer a motivated and cheerful personality a training position for the entire duration of studies starting from August 2027.
