Facilities for young people in Hyrylä

We would like to raise our concerns about the situation of young people in Hyrylä. Since Mesta closed its doors in April 2017, young people have been gathering in various places, such as the library, shopping centres, sports centres and other facilities.  The lack of a youth centre has led to an increase in disruptive behaviour among young people. Young people are more likely to react in this way if they do not have a suitable place to gather.

The completion date of the new service centre is still unclear, and the current facilities for young people are needed now. Young people need a space where they can gather, talk loudly, play, drink coffee, eat snacks and just hang out.  A youth centre also serves the resource needs of youth services, as outreach requires more human resources. Until the service centre is completed, we need a youth centre for the young people of Hyrylä that is independent of the library’s opening hours and rules and does not cause disruption to other activities.  

We propose that a suitable space for young people be found by summer 2022, where they can eat and gather in the evenings and, if necessary, on weekends.

We propose that young people be involved in approving the final option for the youth centre.

We propose that the next budget take into account the resources and premises of Hyrylä’s regional youth work to meet the needs of Hyrylä’s young people.
