Youth shelters support young people and their loved ones across Finland, both online and at our shelters in Espoo, Helsinki, Vantaa, Tampere and Turku. We are here to help with both everyday challenges and major life crises.

Help every day, throughout Finland

Youth Shelters provide emotional support every day, either online or at our shelters. Young people and their families seek help for issues such as mental health challenges, loneliness and family conflicts.

Our shelters are open 24 hrs a day on weekdays, and during evenings and nights on weekends. When needed, we can offer a young person a safe place to stay overnight, a warm meal and the opportunity to talk with a trusted adult.

Youth Shelters also take part in the national Sekasin Chat service, where young people can receive support and guidance every day.

Your donation makes a difference

Your gift of 12 euros provides a nutritious meal and the presence of a safe adult to a young person who is having a hard time in life. In addition, young people get a message that we all want to hear: There is always someone who cares about you.

With a donation of 60 euros you will provide a one-hour session with a Youth Shelter crisis and family worker, either online or at one of our shelters, for a young person or a loved one seeking help.
