Περιγραφή της οργάνωσης

Espoo's Youth Services provide valuable services to young people, particularly those aged 13-17, but also to those over 16. We operate a range of programs and initiatives aimed at helping young people to succeed.
One of the core offerings of the Youth Services is 19 local youth clubs, which provide opportunities for young people to try new things, meet new people, and challenge themselves. The clubs are run in cooperation with young people themselves, with the principles of youth participation and inclusion.
In addition to the youth clubs, the Youth Services also offer outreach work aimed at meeting young people where they hang out. The outreach work is available to everyone under 29 and offers support in planning for the future, information about studying and applying for a job, and help with health issues.
Throughout all of our programs and initiatives, we place a strong emphasis on listening to young people and encouraging their participation. Our values of being youth-oriented, innovative, and fair are reflected in everything we do. Ultimately, our goal is to enable every young person in Espoo to influence topics that are important to them.
This work is made possible thanks to the dedication of our educated professionals, who work closely with young people and their families. Variety is seen as a strength, and Youth Services strive to give every young person the chance to be themselves and have fun with their peers.
