Arvokas funding program (2018–2021) aims at a more equal Finland where everyone can be a significant part of the community and society.

There are 25 projects engaged in the Arvokas program. All of them create a variety of opportunities for inclusion and a strong sense of community and thus reduce inequality in the Finnish society. The target group of the Arvokas program is vast as the projects involve e.g. immigrants, unemployed, long-term prisoners and young people living in foster families.

The Arvokas program is co-ordinated by the Finnish Federation of Settlement Houses and is supported by the Funding Centre for Social Welfare and Health Organisations (STEA).

We are happy to tell you more about us!
