Welcome to the finnish-swedish youth association movement!
 

The finnish-swedish youth associations are nonpolitical organizations that provide cultural and other activities for young people. There are nearly 270 finnish-swedish local youth associations in Finland, with almost 50,000 individual members.

The finnish-swedish youth association movement was founded in 1888 and the first youth association, Malax UF, was founded by Johannes Klockars.

The associations organize activities according to the needs and wishes of their members. The most popular activities are theatre and dance. The associations are also active in developing their local communities and in contacts with youth organizations in the other Nordic countries.

Youth societies are supported by the Finnish-Swedish Youth Association with its 4 district organisations.
