Nuorten Tolkku
Nuorten Tolkku is an arts‑based workshop operated by the youth services of the Seinäjoki. Its aim is to support and guide young people aged 18–29 living in Seinäjoki towards participation, education and working life. The workshop strengthens young people’s life skills, social skills and personal strengths, helping to clarify their future plans.
Outreach Youth Work
The primary task of outreach youth work is to support young people aged 16–29 who are outside education or the labour market, or who need assistance in accessing the services they require. The aim is to be present in young people’s everyday environments and to offer a safe and confidential contact with an adult. Outreach youth work works together with young people to find solutions to their challenges and questions and helps them access the services they need.
Youth centres
There are nine youth centres in Seinäjoki. The activities at the youth centres are open to all, although at some centres activities are tailored to different age groups. Youth centres occasionally organise theme evenings, events and excursions, but in general the activities are informal and largely based on young people’s own interests and choices.
Preppaamo
Preppaamo’s youth workshop activities are intended for people aged 16–29 who are interested in the cultural, events and media sectors. The aim of the activities is to support young people with an interest in these fields in enhancing their confidence, and in progressing towards employment.
Kupla
Kupla is the youth space of Seinäjoki Main Library located on the lower floor of the Aalto Library. The space offers a free-of-charge, alcohol-free environment for leisure activities. Kupla is primarily intended for young people in grades 5–9.
