Vamos Helsinki helps 16–29 year-olds
Are you worried about managing your everyday life, mental health, housing, finances, getting into school, or your career path?
Vamos could be for you! Participation in Vamos’s activities is voluntary, free, and confidential.
Vamos offers support to young people
Vamos focuses on meeting young people in a way that is non-urgent, confidential and tailored to their needs.
With us you get assigned your own youth worker who has time to get to know you. You can participate in individual and group coaching in which you will receive support with your daily life and future planning, as well as help in gradually finding your way to school or work.
What do we offer?
Vamos Career Coaching
Vamos Career coaching is designed for 16–29-year-olds living in in the Helsinki Metropolitan area (Helsinki, Espoo or Vantaa) who are currently outside employment or education. Participation is voluntary and free of charge.
The only requirement is motivation to receive support in clarifying future plans, along with a life situation that allows moving toward work or studies.
The purpose of the coaching is to work together to find a suitable job or studies, and to provide support in pursuing one’s own individual professional goals. Career coaches also help in finding work‑trial opportunities.
Taloustaitohanke
In individual training in financial skills, a young person who needs personal help in financial management will be supported by a bank volunteer from a bank that has been trained. The aim of the meetings is to provide support to the young person in matters related to their own finances that the young person needs help with. The theme can be anything between making a savings plan and settling debts.
In financial skills coaching, the young person gets the opportunity to reflect on their own attitudes towards money and strengthen their financial management skills with the support of professionals.
Hyvän arjen rakentajat
Young people aged 16–29 living in Malmi and Tapulikaupunki are offered goal-oriented, youth-centered, and walk alongside individual coaching for the matters in which they themselves feel they need support. We work in close cooperation with Kohtaus ry’s city living room and Mieli ry’s Sekaisin Live activities.
