Volunteering in Tuusula
In Tuusula, the local council and associations organise a wide range of voluntary activities. As a volunteer, you can help others and meet new people. At the same time, you can do something meaningful.
Volunteer activities organised by the municipality of Tuusula
As a municipal volunteer, you can work in areas such as culture, children, the elderly or the environment. You can also volunteer in community work, as a park buddy, or in museums or multicultural activities.
As a museum volunteer
Volunteering at the museum gives you a glimpse behind the scenes and an insight into the everyday work of museum professionals. You can support the activities of the Tuusula Museum while gaining enjoyable experiences and information on current topics in the museum field.

Park godfather
The Park Buddy programme is a voluntary initiative organised by the municipality of Tuusula. The programme gives residents the opportunity to actively influence the attractiveness of their local environment. Park Buddies do valuable work for the benefit of our shared public spaces. You can become a buddy on your own or as part of a group.

As a volunteer
Does your attention get caught by a rubbish-strewn roadside or a weed-covered planting area? Would you like to organise a community work day to solve the problem? Community work days can be organised to support the maintenance and general attractiveness of public areas in Tuusula.

As an ambassador for Tuusula
Volunteer resident ambassadors share information about their lives in Tuusula, municipal activities and events with their social media followers. The activity is voluntary, but it includes training, support and small incentive rewards – and the satisfaction that comes from working together.
