Tikkurila major region Youth services
Youth services support the growth, status and living conditions of young people and promote their opportunities to be active. Youth work is carried out based on the needs and wishes of young people. We encounter young people in different environments, such as youth centres, schools, public spaces and online. Our goal is to support young people at every step from early adolescence to young adulthood.

The activities of the youth services take into account the different stages of adolescence and t
…he different needs of young people and young adults. Young people are welcome to spend time at youth centres and participate in a variety of fun activities, groups, courses, camps and excursions. In schools and educational institutions, youth work promotes communality and provides individual support in matters concerning young people. Youth services are also present on the streets, in shopping centres and on public modes of transport, where we meet young people. We are also active on different digital platforms. Youth services provide assistance in matters concerning the lives of adolescents and young adults, such as studies, job-hunting or life management. Youth work is developed through various projects.
