About us

Who we are

Together Global ry is a registered non-profit based in Espoo and the Helsinki area, independent of any party or religion. We started in 2018. We work with immigrant-background young people, women and families — helping with everyday things like taking part in activities, studying, finding work and settling into life in Finland — and with anyone who finds it hard to get involved.

We’re an open association with around 200 members from many different backgrounds. The idea behind our work is simple: treat everyone equally, and give young people safe, friendly places where they can learn, make friends and get on with their lives.

Most of what we do is sport, youth work, guidance, courses and outreach, often together with the City of Espoo and other partners. The point is straightforward: give people regular things to take part in, and some support when they need it.

Our mission

We give young people, women and immigrant families easy ways to meet others, take part and get support — and to feel at home in Finland.

Our vision

A Finland where everyone, whatever their background, can take part, learn and feel at home.
