Regional youth houses are spaces for children and young people to spend time, participate in activities, and receive guidance from youth workers. They offer open evenings, clubs and group activities planned together with young people. Facilities are shared with local schools, and activities are scheduled by age group—starting from 3rd grade up to 18 years.
Youth workers at the youth houses also work at schools during the day and are familiar adults in both environments. Activities include hanging out, games, crafts, and sometimes themed evenings. Everyone in the area is welcome to join.
There are youth houses in Ounasvaara, Nivavaara, Ylikylä/Vennivaara, Muurola, Vanttauskoski, Sinettä and Korkalovaara.
You can contact youth workers by phone, message, email or Instagram direct message.
Current opening hours and events are announced on the youth houses’ Instagram and Facebook accounts.
Open youth house activities are primarily for young people aged 10–20.
Opening hours are typically divided into separate times for primary and secondary school students. Clubs and group activities can be targeted to narrower age groups when needed.
