The youth centre has a PlayStation, an Xbox One, a pool table, ping pong, two computers, a television, table hockey and many other things!

Something is always going on at the youth centre

We organise theme nights, clubs, tournaments, excursions, discos, movie nights and many other fun things. At the youth centre, you can also influence the themes and activities featured in open activities.

The building offers versatile facilities where young people can meet up to engage in physical activity, games, musical activities or just hang out. We hold various music events almost every week.

There are always at least two youth workers present at the youth centre.

We update daily on our Instagram page arabian_nuorisotalo

You only need a membership card

In order to participate in the activities, you need a membership card. It is free of charge and does not require anything of you. Fill in a written application and return it to the youth centre. New digital membership card will be available spring 2025!

We are also happy to cooperate with parents. Guardians are welcome to come and familiarise themselves with the youth centre’s activities together with their children.

See you at the youth centre!

Would you like to have a say in things?

You can participate in decision-making at the youth centre. Young people can plan and implement activities and events at the youth centre with the youth workers. At youth centre meetings, participants plan joint activities and lay down and update the building’s rules.

We also try to encourage young people to become active influencers. Our youth workers would be happy to tell you about the young people’s influence system Youth Budget as well as other channels for influencing things. Ask us for more information!

For selected locations, single bookings can be made via the Varaamo service throughout the year.

You can meet the youth workers on social media and in game worlds, so do not hesitate to come talk and play with us. You can also call us or send us e-mail.

You can also spot us on the streets in the areas of Arabia and Pasila. Come talk to us and tell us how you are doing when you see a person with the word ‘Nuoriso-ohjaaja’ on their back.

Kind regards, the youth centre’s staff.
