Outreach youth work

Youth workers are also a common sight on the streets and in public spaces.

An integral part of young people’s daily lives is spending their free time with friends outdoors, in parks, in school playgrounds and in various public spaces. The aim of outreach youth work is to meet young people in their own environments, provide safe adult supervision in their daily lives, and strengthen their well-being, participation and sense of community.

Youth workers regularly visit different parts of Tuusula to meet young people. You can also meet youth workers in neighbouring municipalities at larger events.

In the summer of 2026, mobile youth work will be carried out in collaboration with the Walkers programme run by Aseman Lapset ry. The programme is supported by a Wauto vehicle called Puuma, which serves as a mobile meeting place for young people. In addition to youth workers, the Wauto offers fun activities and the chance to spend time with other young people and youth workers.

Wauto runs in Tuusula on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays throughout the summer. Young people can also suggest places for Wauto to visit or invite it to their own meeting place. The service is free of charge and aimed at young people aged 10–17.

You can follow Wauto’s activities and keep up to date with the latest news via social media.
