What services can I get from Nuorten talo?

The organizations operating in the building provide their own services. Ohjaamo Jyväskylä services are available without an appointment through the walk-in service for people under 30.
You can check available services and opening hours in the walk-in calendar.

Nuorten talo also organizes various group activities, campaigns, and events.

Ohjaamo Jyväskylä

If you don’t know where to start, start with Ohjaamo! Ohjaamo Jyväskylä is a free service for people under 30, offering guidance and advice on topics such as employment, education, leisure time, housing, finances, wellbeing, and other everyday matters. Ohjaamo services are available through Finland in different service points.

Jyväskylä Youth Mental Health and Substance Abuse Team

The mental health and substance abuse team serves young people aged 13–22 from Jyväskylä, Toivakka, Joutsa, Uurainen, Luhanka, and Muurame in matters related to mental health and substance use.

Outreach Youth Work

Outreach youth work is intended for young people aged 15–28 who are outside education and working life. Its purpose is to reach young people in need of support and help them access services or other forms of support that promote independence and life management, and ultimately support their transition into education and the labor market.

Short history of Nuorten talo

Nuorten talo in Jyväskylä was planned for a long time. In 2020, the Nuorten talo project was launched, aiming to concretely create a shared space for services. The center opened in spring 2021. After the project ended, Nuorten talo’s operations were established as a permanent part of the City of Jyväskylä’s youth services.

At the start of operations, the goal was to bring services together, increase cooperation between professionals, and make it easier for young people to find the services they need.

We wanted the center to be easy to access—a youthful and welcoming place. We offer help and solutions for many different situations, and we take a holistic approach to supporting young people. It is important that Nuorten talo is genuinely on the side of young people.

Now that the operations are established, the mission of Nuorten talo remains to bring together different actors so that young people in need of help and support can easily find the services they require. Our vision is to be a broad and effective community of youth experts that responds to young people’s needs for help and support in a timely manner.

The Nuorten talo operating model has attracted wide interest both in Finland and internationally. If you are interested in visiting Nuorten talo and learning more about its services with your group, please check available times on the “Visit Nuorten talo” page.
