Resumo: The office of the hosting organization is situated near the city centre.

The town is the seventh biggest city in Finland with a population of 130 000 inhabitants, almost 70% of them at the age of 15-64. It is situated in the central Finland and has a developed infrastructure (regular buses and trains to the capital city of Helsinki). The town is traditionally a student and a congress city. There is a university, a university of applied sciences, voccational as well as grammar schools and other educational facilities. Moreover, the city of town offers various opportunities to spend leisure time, especially in terms of sport facilities. The town also hosts two big sport events in August and September – the Rally and the Finlandia Marathon.

Similarly, volunteers would be part of a team that organizes summer camps in summer (usually in June). Volunteers would also
Volunteers would also be involved in different social events, where the organization takes part in. Our association participates approximately 5-6 times a year in 1-3 days long fairs such as Next Step, My Way or Toukofest, where we introduce our activities and hold a programme for visitors. Similarly, volunteers would participate in happenings, organized few times a year by the Central Finland umbrella 4H-association, or in so called Iltatorit (evening markets) on weekly basis during summer (June-August).
Volunteers could take part in young people involvement groups, which focus on organizing events (such as discos or music festivals) or on improving their place of living. They would visit and get to know the countryside through the ongoing project of the organization targeting young people from villages.

As mentioned above, our association also offers different services for adults. Volunteers could visit our clients’ homes together with our young employees and simply act as our client’s company while our young employee is working.
