The Vaasa Youth Council grants support for young people’s self-initiated activities. Support can be applied for, for example, projects or events organised by young people, hobby activities of small groups, or partial funding for larger projects. The application period ends on April 30, 2025.
A total of 2,000 euros is available. Support can be applied for by groups consisting of young people aged 13–29, with at least two young members. The members of the group must reside or study in Vaasa.

Through the grants, the Youth Council aims to activate other young people to realise events, which as many young people as possible can participate in.
– The grants can be used to organise all sorts of events for young people. The best part is that the young people themselves plan and carry out the project. The purpose of the grant is to ensure that the activities it supports benefit as many young people in Vaasa as possible, comments Santiago Laitinen, the chair of the Youth Council.
Support is awarded to projects planned and carried out by young people
The supported project must be planned, carried out, and finally evaluated with a reporting form by young people.
The Youth Council will decide on the recipients and the amounts of the grants at their meeting on May 15, 2025. The supported activities must be organised between June and December 2025.
