Youth outreach

Youth work offers all people under the age of 29 the opportunity for personal guidance and support. As a priority, youth outreach workers serve young people who are not in education, training or employment, and those who want help with something that is bothering them. It provides support on issues that the young person feels are important. Any young person under 29 can contact the youth worker in their municipality at any time. In addition to the young person himself/herself, those close to him/her can also contact youth work.

Time out!

Time-out activities offer support and guidance to all young people of conscription, military and civilian service age. As part of its basic work, the Youth Work Service carries out Time Out activities based on cooperation between the Defence Forces, the Civilian Service Centre, the State Treasury and the municipalities, and is responsible for activities in all Finnish municipalities. Outreach youth workers participate in call-up events organised by the Defence Forces and meet all young people who are subject to call-up.
