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.

In addition of meeting people in person, we also engage with young people on social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Discord.

Individual work

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.
