Play, exercise and hanging out together – the Ritaharju Youth Centre offers diverse activities for young people!
The Youth Centre in the Ritaharju Community Centre is a meeting place for the youth of the region: a safe environment to spend free time, participate in hobby activities as well as to meet friends and instructors. The Youth Centre is located on the Ritaharju Community Centre’s lower floor, next to the library.
At the Youth Centre, you can spend time playing games, participating in guided activities or chatting with friends and instructors. You have a chance to utilize the Community Centre’s exercise hall for sports and the learning kitchen for cooking.
There are diverse guided activities on offer. The users of the Youth Centre get to participate in the planning and implementation of the activities together with the instructors and weekly programs are planned based on the wishes of the users.
The Centre’s workers support and help the young people and parents in all matters of the young people’s lives. We are trained youth work professionals.
