Youth work
Youth work is carried out not only on youth centres but also in schools and with targeted groups. Youth work is also mobile.
Youth centres
The City of Rauma has two youth centres, Viklo at Karin kampus and Kuovi.
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 counsellors in schools are safe and trustworthy adults who meet 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.
