Raushetsaksjonen – Jobzone’s community engagement appeal
We know that every community has its change agent. Someone who is generous with their time, and who gives to their local community without expecting anything in return. At Jobzone, we want to promote and showcase those individuals.
They exist in every single local community. They are the people who invest their time and care for the benefit of others, be it to raise funds for equipment for the local soccer club, teach kids to ski, organise charity concerts, procure food and clothing for people in need, or help refugees who are new to the community. They are giving and engaged in all ways, tireless and dedicated – and typically modest on their own behalf.
We seek out these ‘local heroes’ because we want to recognise and reward their achievements.
Personal achievement awards
Every year since 2004, Jobzone has conferred personal achievement awards worth NOK 10,000 on selected change agents in each of the communities in which we are present. The awards recognise extraordinary achievements in helping others at the local level, and are made under Raushetsaksjonen, Jobzone’s local and national community engagement appeal.
The local Jobzone award is a personal achievement award, and is made to a named individual. In addition to the personal award, one of the local awardees is in with the chance of donating NOK 100,000 to a charity project or a benevolent organisation they are passionate about and keen to raise funds for. You help to decide the winners by voting on our website in March 2019.
If you know someone who would be a deserving winner of the Jobzone award, we would like to hear from you. Email your local Jobzone office giving the name and contact details of the person you are nominating, together with your own phone number. Write a short statement telling us why this nominee deserves to win the award. Click here to find your local Jobzone office.
