Existence of a National Strategy

Finland does not have a national strategy regarding youth volunteering. In the Government Programme 2024-2027, the role of the third sector organisations and the collaboration between them are often mentioned (see Youth Wiki/Finland 2.1 General context for more information.) According to the programme ‘the Government will prepare a strategy on civil society organisations and an implementation plan for it. Within the framework of the strategy, the aim is to lighten the excess regulation concerning organisational and voluntary activities, explore possibilities to develop the fundraising activities of civil society organisations, and improve the interaction between the public authorities and the civil society. In particular, the EU funding opportunities of civil society organisations engaged in the prevention of violence and crime will be expanded.’ Yet it is not yet known if the strategy recognises the value of youth volunteering in some special way.
