What is outreach youth work?

Outreach youth work offers all people under the age of 29 the opportunity for personal guidance and support. As a priority, youth outreach youth workers serve young people who are not in education, training or employment, and those who want help with something that is bothering them.

Outreach youth work 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 themselves, those close to them can also contact the outreach youth work.

Wellbeing Group

Do you need support with managing your daily life, well-being, or creating routines? The well-being group is intended for young people under the age of 29 who want something to do during the day, a sense of community, and help with everyday challenges. The well-being group meets weekly at the Kuovi Youth Center (Kuovinkuja 4). Come and join our low-threshold well-being group, which offers a weekly changing program.

The group offers, among other things:

Support for coping with everyday life
Theme days on different aspects of wellbeing
Various mind-supporting exercises and tasks
Community spirit, discussions, and new perspectives

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.
