Youth work
Girls’ House is a place for people aged 12-29, where everyone has the opportunity to be seen and heard.
People who join the activities are able to participate in the planning and implementation of the activities.
All our activities are professionally guided. We work with a gender-sensitive approach. This means that in our work we take into account the effects of gender on a person’s growth. The operation is financed by STEA.
You can book an individual time with us, where you can confidentially discuss or clarify issues that concern you. The size of the thing doesn’t matter. Individual work in our House is done by professionally trained people.
Individual meeting can last an hour or two, depending on your needs and situation. Contact us, if you want to book an individual time with us. We are in Kuopio at Kuninkaankatu 26 B.

The main thing in communal activities is coming together with other people. Anyone can join without registration. You can participate however you like; have a cup of coffee, play games, chat, relax or just be.

We meet young people on Tiktok, Instagram and Discord. On Tuesdays you can talk with us on Meniks sulla tunteisiin?- chat. We also produce content for the channels above and the goal is to increase safety and emotional skills such as recognizing one’s own and others’ boundaries. Good safety skills help to protect yourself in situations of violence and bullying and recognize threatening situations.

At the Girls’ house we encounter, see and hear person as they are. Our purpose is that everyone that comes to the House would find a activity that suits them. We think that every person grows as a person in relation to other people, as a member of a community, and you are an important part of it. Together, we build community where it is good for everyone to be themselves. You can find more information about us and our services below. Our house is located in Kuopio, at Kuninkaankatu 26
