As a live friend, you meet with your friend in person once or several times a month. You spend time together doing things you both enjoy. Our coordinators help you find someone with similar interests. Friends can enjoy activities together, discover new interests and make everyday life more meaningful.

This is our main volunteer role, and we are especially looking for more live friends!

Do you want to have online contact with a friend? You can do it from home and only need a computer, a tablet or a smartphone.

You and your friend decide how to stay in touch and what you would like to do together. You can chat, make video calls or share an activity online. You usually connect once or several times a month.

Would you like to volunteer without making a long-term commitment? Short-term volunteering could be for you!

You might help out at an event or fill in for another volunteer friend.

A friend circle is a group of people who meet about once a month. Participants can share experiences, meet others and get peer support in a welcoming environment.

We currently have an in-person friend circle in Pietarsaari.

A scout friend acts as a friend, facilitator and support for a child in need of special support who wants to be in the scouts. The scout friend participates in the scout activities with the child, helps where needed and maintains contact with the child, the family, the scout corps and the scout friend project.

The assignment is suitable for anyone who are over 15 years old and want to give a child the chance to be a scout. You do not need any prior knowledge and receive training and support in the assignment. The project is a collaboration with Finland Svenska Scouter (FiSSc).
