The youth associations maintain over 230 association houses. Each one of these houses serve as a versatile center of local hobby activities. The most popular activities are theatre and dance. The associations are also active in developing their local communities and in contacts with youth organizations in the other countries.                        Finlands Svenska Ungdomsförbund FSU rf

  3. Young at heart! • The objective of the youth association movement is to increase the prosperous of the youth. We develop hobby and club activities, create possibilities for voluntary and meaningful activities and offer the youth a way to influence in matters that concern themself. • In addition to the ordinary hobbies we offer new and exciting activities and possibilities to develop the own district togehter with other organizations. • the strength of the youth associations lies in the collaboration between different age groups. The vigorous movement needs both the gathered experience as well as the creative side of the youth. • The 120 year old finnish-swedish youth association movement and its 50,000 members is a sign that there is a need for us.
