About us

Students helping students go further.

Student Network of Johannes Kepler University (SNJKU) is a youth-led, non-profit informal group based in Linz, Austria, created by active JKU students. We empower young people through Erasmus+ projects, non-formal education, digital skills, intercultural dialogue, and inclusive international opportunities.

Who we work with

We work especially with young people with fewer opportunities — helping them gain confidence, develop new skills, join European mobility programs, and become more active in society.

What we bring

Youth work, project coordination, facilitation, AI and technology, communication, social media, intercultural learning, and creative project design — combined in one team.
