Youth work

Youth work in schools

School youth work is preventive youth work in secondary schools, with the aim of ensuring a safe school community where young people can thrive. It also aims to promote the participation of pupils, both at school and in their free time, and to make young people’s voices and opinions heard. These activities are planned and organised in cooperation with other youth workers and school staff.

A youth counsellor in schools is a safe and trustworthy adult who meets young people in their daily lives. They provide low-threshold support and help, and develop a sense of community and enjoyment of school. They work in a variety of ways, including after-school activities, bullying prevention, group sessions, individual counselling, events and activities, home-school cooperation – and, of course, cooperation between school and youth services.

Mobile youth work

During the summer, the Tauno mobile youth work car will be on the move in the Rauma area on Fridays and Saturdays from 17-22. The 2025 summer runs start on Friday 6.6.
We offer young people a safe meeting place with youth workers.

You can contact Tauno by phone, WhatsApp or SMS. You can also get in touch via Youthrauma’s Instagram account @nuortenrauma.

Targeted youth work

Targeted youth work provides young people aged 12-17 with preventive activities with educational and developmental aims. The forms of targeted youth work include individual and group work.

Rainbows in the evenings

Rainbow Nights meet on Wednesdays at the Kuovi’s Youth Centre every other week, always on odd weeks from 16-18.

The evenings are for all young people under 29 years of age from sexual and gender minorities and those who are thinking about their identity, as well as their friends. The evenings include games, art, cooking and making new friends. You are welcome to come as you are!
