The youth services of the city of Kankaanpää have two outreach youth workers, Noora and Mikaela. The outreach area includes Kankaanpää, Jämijärvi, Pomarkku, Siikainen and Karvia.

Outreach youth work is a special youth work that aims to reach young people aged 16-29 who are not in education or employment or who need support to access the services they need. Outreach youth work offers young people early support if they want it and strengthens their abilities to get ahead in life. The service is voluntary for young people.

Outreach youth work is present among young people and offers opportunities for safe and confidential adult contact. It seeks solutions to young people's problems and questions with them and supports them in accessing the services they need and want.

Feel free to contact us if you have any concerns!
