Activities

4H clubs and camps

We organize versatile club and camp activities for 6-12 year olds in Porvoo and Askola. In the 4H club, we do crafts, cook, exercise and work on many other fun things. We also get to know our surroundings, the forest and nature. The operating principle of the clubs is learning by doing. The clubs are led by young people trained as club instructors. 

We organize camp activities for 6-12 year olds during school holidays. See pictures of past camps and future camps here. (page in Finnish).

Work opportunities, entrepreneurship and courses 

Young people who enjoy being with children can get a job as a club instructor in the 4H club or through gig work service. We train and guide young people. First internships and summer work experiences are also important. We support youths by having Work Readiness Training courses, where youths get the basic knowledge about  job hunting and the rules of working life.

In addition, young people can develop their working life skills with 4H Work Skills courses, where, according to their own interests, young people can familiarize themselves with, for example, caring for dogs, washing windows, helping the elderly or various yard work. In 4H, a young person over the age of 13 can get a job either in the 4H association or in jobs provided by the association.
