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

The Wellbeing 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 Wellbeing Group meets on Thursdays at the Kuovi Youth Center (Kuovinkuja 4).

Below are the dates and times for the rest of the year:

• Thu, Dec. 11, from 12 PM to 2 PM (the last group session of 2025)

If you are interested in joining the group, please contact the outreach youth worker for more information: by phone, email, or even WhatsApp message.

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.
