Branches are run by JHL’s members, and everyone can certainly find something that they want to do. For example, you can participate organising events, influence in the branch board, be responsible for youth activities or attract more people to become JHL members. Every role is important, so do not hesitate to contact your branch and get involved! We train new JHL actives in our trade union’s own JHL Institute.
