Services
Cultural youth work is youth work involving art and culture, supporting young people's growth, independence and active inclusion in society.
Personal coaching is meant for 18 - 29-year-old Vantaa residents without a job or a study place.
Youth services promote the operating conditions of youth organisations and youth groups active in the city and support young people's opportunities to be active in and impact society.
Vantaa has a wide range of organisations young people can consult about everyday problems and larger issues.
Young people can engage in many fun activities at youth centres. There are youth workers present at youth centres with whom you can chat with and ask for tips and advice or even help with studying and job-hunting.
