Youth centres provide curriculum-supporting camp and nature packages for school groups, social youth work services, and diverse international activities. In addition, various groups and youth organisations organise camp and course activities at the centres.
Youth centres have also functioned as centres for methodological development of youth work, especially in the fields of outdoor adventure education and experiential learning and NUOTTA training.
The national youth centres are owned by municipalities, youth organisations, organisations engaged in youth work and other societies.
