Tapulikaupunki Youth Centre

Youth centre activities

The open youth centre activities are regular and safe activities for children and young people. We have nice and trained youth workers working in our building. They are in charge of club activities, and you can talk to them about anything. For example, you can ask them for help, advice or tips for finding a new hobby!

We cooperate with local schools, libraries, organisations and other operators. You might also see us taking to the streets in northeastern Helsinki or in digital environments. You can recognise us by our jackets, which have the City of Helsinki’s logo.

At Tapulikaupunki Youth Centre, you can find a well-equipped game room where you can play on a computer or PlayStation. Ask the youth workers for more information on gaming activities!

Opportunities to influence matters and project funds

You can influence the youth centre’s activities in your area at youth centre meetings. You can influence the affairs of the youth centre, Tapulikaupunki and the entire city of Helsinki through Ruuti activities. RuutiBudjetti is a participatory budgeting system for young people, through which even larger development dreams can be realised. With the Sponssi activity grant, you can carry out projects with your friends, for example. For more information on Sponssi, see here.

Ask us youth workers for more information!

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.
