Helpers' Clubs are starting - come join us!

Would you like to learn first aid skills and practice Finnish in a fun way? Come to the Helpers' Club!

The Helpers' Club is a group for young people aged 16–29, where first aid skills are taught over a period of about three months. The group uses clear and simple Finnish, with English as a support language. Language skills improve through listening, speaking, and participating in group activities. The group becomes a friendly community where you can also make new friends. And at the same time, you’ll learn valuable first aid skills!

New Helpers' Clubs start in August-September and January–February.

The group meets once a week. At the end of the program, participants complete an Emergency First Aid course (8 hours) and receive an official certificate. After the Helpers' Club, you can continue practicing your first aid skills in a Red Cross first aid group.

Participation in the Helpers' Club and the emergency first aid course is free of charge.
