The Finnish-Swedish Youth Association movement

Welcome to the finnish-swedish youth association
movement!

• The finnish-swedish youth associations are
  nonpolitical organizations that provide cultural
  and other activities for young people. There are
  nearly 270 finnish-swedish local youth
  associations in Finland, with almost 50,000
  individual members. Nearly 70 of the members
  are under the age of 29 and over 30 under the
  age of 16. The youth associations maintain over
  230 association houses. Each one of these houses
  serve as a versatile center of local hobby
  activities.
• The most popular activities are theatre and
  dance. The associations are also active in
  developing their local communities and in
  contacts with youth organizations in the other
  countries.

Young at heart!

• The objective of the youth association movement
  is to increase the prosperous of the youth. We
  develop hobby and club activities, create
  possibilities for voluntary and meaningful
  activities and offer the youth a way to
  influence in matters that concern themself.
• In addition to the ordinary hobbies we offer
  new and exciting activities and possibilities to
  develop the own district togehter with other
  organizations.
• the strength of the youth associations lies in
  the collaboration between different age groups.
  The vigorous movement needs both the gathered
  experience as well as the creative side of the
  youth.
• The 120 year old finnish-swedish youth
  association movement and its 50,000 members is a
  sign that there is a need for us.
