NU: Nolla Utanförskapet

What NU: Nolla Utanförskapet does

NU: Nolla Utanförskapet (NU: Eliminate Exclusion) is a Swedish non-profit organization founded in 2017 by Sanna Wolk with the stated mission of eliminating social exclusion among young people in Sweden. Its core program, Läxhjälp, runs weekly in-person homework-help sessions hosted at the offices of corporate partners, where students from socio-economically disadvantaged areas are matched with professional employee volunteers. The program is operationally simple and deliberately non-technological: there is no software platform, no digital matching layer, and no remote delivery; value is created through repeated face-to-face contact between cohorts of roughly 30 students and 7 partner companies per hub.

The organization runs 5 hubs across three Swedish cities (Stockholm, Malmö, and Gothenburg) and is supported by a roster of 30+ corporate partners spanning banking, legal, and technology sectors, alongside donations from foundations and individuals. NU currently employs 16 people. Reported program outcomes include 90% of graduating students proceeding to university within two years and 100% achieving upper-secondary eligibility. The organization has accumulated multiple awards between 2019 and 2024 and is developing NU:hus, a planned physical community space intended to extend its program footprint beyond the homework-help model.

The business model is that of a traditional non-profit: corporate partnership contributions and philanthropic donations fund program delivery, with corporate partners providing both capital and the physical office venues in which sessions are held. There is no disclosed revenue, no pricing model, and no equity funding; growth is funded organically through expansion of the partner base.

Revenue model

1. Corporate Partnership Contributions: Companies provide meeting room space, volunteer employees as tutors, and financial or in-kind support to participate in the homework help program. Companies engage as 'läxhjälpsföretag' (homework help companies), 'polare' (friends), or 'stödjare' (supporters) in exchange for social responsibility outcomes, employee engagement, and talent pipeline access.
2. Donations and Grants: The organization accepts donations via Swish (123 543 2794) and Bankgiro (5321-2098) for general operations and specifically for the NU:hus development project. Prize money from awards (e.g., Faktumgalan 2019) is used as seed funding for new initiatives.
3. Partnership Agreements: Structured partnership agreements with companies such as Handelsbanken (framework agreement for homework help at their offices) and Bliwa (knowledge scholarship partnership) provide ongoing operational support.

Complementary offerings include the planned NU:hus physical community space for youth aged 12–25 and the affiliated Liza Britzellis Stiftelse foundation supporting the mission.

Product overview

NU: Nolla Utanförskapet operates a single integrated social impact program focused on breaking youth exclusion through connections with the business community. The primary offering is the Läxhjälp (homework help) program, where students from disadvantaged areas meet company employees weekly at corporate offices to do homework together. This is complemented by the planned NU:hus physical community spaces (currently under development), and the Liza Britzelli Foundation which supports the overall mission.
