Micro jobs available!

We offer short-term jobs to young people aged 14–17 living or attending school in Helsinki.

The job can be located at any location of the Culture and Leisure Division (youth centres, libraries, museums, sports facilities, etc.) or you can suggest a job for the public good yourself. The job must also bring joy or benefit someone else. In other words, it cannot take place in a company or just for personal pleasure. You can help others, make an area better or make someone happy. What could it be?

The duration of micro jobs is 1–10 hours, and we pay €9 per hour. You must be at least 14 years old and live or go to school in Helsinki.
