Station is a place, community and platform for students to engage in 1. youth-driven organisations and initiatives, 2. empowering hands-on experiences, 3. collaborations with the private, public and civic sector. Station Fonden is a non-profit volunteer foundation dedicated to youth, well-being, and empowering students. Our mission is to create meaningful and inclusive communities that allow students from across the country's higher education institutions to transform their engagement, curiosity, and ideas into positive change for themselves and the world. We are located in the former Frederiksberg police station at Howitzvej 30, which, following extensive renovation funded by support raised by students themselves, now serves as a modern hub for activities and innovation for students and graduates. Station is a meeting point for young people, students, and graduates who wish to participate in new and meaningful value-driven communities, challenge themselves in their fields, and be inspired by new mindsets and perspectives. Each year, we welcome over 10,000 visitors to our house, representing a diverse range of students and graduates with varying expertise, nationalities, and cultures. Station is operated by a professional secretariat that carries out tasks related to e.g. community building, project management, event management, communications, fundraising, business development, partnerships, and more. By collaborating closely with volunteers and student initiatives, we work to ensure our members and volunteers are the heart of our organisation and at the forefront of our movement.
