IrisHelsinki and IrisUngpride

IrisHelsinki is a youth center for young people aged 13–25 who belong to sexual and gender minorities or are exploring rainbow themes!

We organize weekly youth evenings where you get to meet nice new people, play board and card games, and just relax and hang out. We often discuss current events and topics that interest the youth over cups of hot cocoa. During the evenings, we also have an introduction round where everyone can share a few words about themselves if they wish.

Our youth have the opportunity to make suggestions regarding the activities at youth evenings and to participate in planning and organizing them. We also hold monthly house meetings where attendees can have a say regarding the day-to-day life at IrisHelsinki.

IrisUngpride –Swedish-speaking LGBTQIA+ activities

IrisUngpride is a youth center for Swedish-speaking LGBTQIA+ activities! IrisHelsinki and IrisUngpride organize joint youth evenings on Mondays and Wednesdays, and we operate at the same location. This means the youth evenings are multilingual! You can find more information about the Swedish-speaking LGBTQIA+ activities on IrisUngpride’s own website and IrisUngpride’s Instagram page. Welcome to our activities!
