”Have the young members’ of Save the Children Sweden got increased possibilities to influence the organization since the founding of the youth-organization?” The purpose with the thesis is to investigate if the founding of a youth-organization by Save the Children Sweden has led to increased possibility for the young members to influence the organization. I have two research assignments; change since the founding of a youth-organization? politically since the foundation of a youth-organization and how? Did the norms and values in the organizationand Did the organization change I have analyzed protocols from the general assembly between 1997 and 2008 and how the rules in the organization have changed over time. I have also interviewed four board members to get a more diversified view of how the board meetings proceed. To interpret the findings in the analysis I have used two organization theories, result is that the young members of the organization have got increased possibilities to influence the organization. Not mainly because they have five representatives in the general assembly and one representative in the committee, but because they are more visible now than they were before the founding of the youth-organization when they where only private members.
