The green and vibrant Hyvinkää is a town of 45 000 people in northern Uusimaa, a 45-minute train ride from Helsinki. At the Startti workshop young trainees (aged 17-25) are getting support and guidance to their independent, everyday life. Working in a group will strengthen them socially and motivate to make future plans. Trainees are working with different kind of tasks, e.g. arts& handicrafts, outdoor work, daily cleaning and cooking, writing cv:s and job applications. At Startti we are carrying out Green Care-ideology so nature and being outdoors is a part of our activities.2) Another workshop is in the City of Riihimäki and is called Café Harju workshop: Riihimäki is a town and municipality in the south of Finland, about 69 kilometres north of Helsinki. Riihimäki is a dynamic, developing town, with excellent transport links on the Helsinki–Tampere axis. Journeys within the town are short. At the Café Harju youth (aged 17-25) can get real work experience in genuine Café environment. All the tasks relating to keep the Cafe Harju up and running are mostly performed by the youth in this workshop. HRAKS employees will train and teach the youth on all the necessary skills needed working in Café. Café Harju is located in city`s swimming hall.3) Työmylly Loppi workshop: Loppi is a small municipality of 8500 people about 30 km from city of Hyvinkää and 20 km from city of Riihimäki. Loppi is in a rural area, so the nature and outdoor activities are nearby. At the Työmylly Loppi workshop trainees work in different tasks for example at the flea market (customer service, pricing and marketing), outdoor services and handicraft work using recycled material. Volunteer will use a local bus traffic between Loppi-Riihimäki.Startti, Cafe Harju and Työmylly Loppi volunteers will live near Hyvinkää and Riihimäki citycenters in an apartment or live in a student room. In both cases sharing kitchen and bathroom with other students and volunteers. It is easy to use bicycle or walk in Hyvinkää and Riihimäki but there is also local bus traffic.

During their project volunteers can strengthen various skills and abilities, such as public speaking, pedagogic abilities, organization skills and organization of events, through their daily work with young trainees and through the non-formal learning. There will also be a possibility to learn the Finnish language. Our organisation is very flexible and open for the volunteers own interests and knowledge.
