Resumo: The Youth Centre was first opened in October 2007. In 2017 we celebrate 10th anniversary. Our activities take place under the motto: for and with youngsters. We wish that the youth center is something more than just a place to spent your spare time - that the youngsters come here just not to consume the service, but to create their own values, acquiring new experiences and skills through planning and carrying out youth events, seeing how their dreams come true. We can support them with our knowledge and experiences.
Aims and regular activities:
1) Enhancing the involvement of young people and support for their initiative. Over the last few years, we have organized youth evenings in the villages to involve more youngsters who live outside the center of the Nõo borough, give them opportunities to take part and get involved in youth work opportunities. From that grew out an active youth group, which now organizes events for other young people in the area. Last year we managed to renovate a room in Laguja old schoolhouse, which now is a place for local youngsters to come together and spare their leisure time, organize events. Local youngsters took part of the renovation process themselves.

2) Purposeful and developmental leisure activities for young people. Regularly organizing open workshops in youth center and in villages using the open youth work method – cooking evenings, game- and movie nights, handicraft and recycling workshops, broaden the horizons with theme weeks (health, sports, school break camps etc.), trips (cycling tour, hikes, family days, photo hunting) and inspiration evenings (meetings with youth idols).

3) Developing youth work on the municipality level. Carrying out activities in the so-called periphery of the municipality, will increase the ability of young people to participate in youth work and speak out in decisions concerning young people.

4) Cooperation at local and county level
