Membership card a.k.a. Jässäri
The City of Helsinki Youth Services’ membership card, also called Jässäri, is your free VIP pass to youth centre activities, events and hobbies all over Helsinki. The membership card is available to all young people in Helsinki aged up to 29. It gives them access to the music studios, art groups, games and just hanging out at the Youth Centres, among other things.
The membership card activates once the guardian accepts the application.
If using the digital version is not possible, you can get a plastic card.
There are two ways to obtain a plastic card:
Option A: The digital Jässäri has been registered, but using a smartphone is not possible
• The guardian registers the Jässäri online at https://jassari.populon.fi/
• Order a plastic membership card.
• The card will be delivered by mail to your home or can be picked up from the Oodi youth space.
Option B: The digital Jässäri cannot be registered online
• Registration is done at the youth center together with a guardian (for those under 18, the guardian must be present).
• After registration, the card will be sent by mail or can be picked up from the Oodi youth space.
The City of Helsinki never shares the contact information of young people or their guardians with anyone, and users always have the right to check the data we have collected. More information about Helsinki’s youth services is available at Things to do and places – Youth Helsinki and on our social media channels
