When you are involved in an assosiation, you can learn important civic skills, influence meaningful issues, and build networks with new people. We support associations in basic organisational matters and in independently developing their activities.
We also support people and groups in planning and developing informal civic activities.
We are a non-religious organisation. Therefore, we do not advice associations whose activities focus on practicing or promoting religion. We also do not provide advice to associations suspected of discrimination, misconduct, or criminal activity.
We encourage you to explore our information bank for associations resource library, where you can find answers to many common questions about association activities.

Training and Workshops
Järjestöhautomo’s trainings and workshops provide practical tools for running an association smoothly.
We offer a wide range of training on association management and activities. Most of our trainings are held in Finnish, but we when possible, we provide support like presenting slides bilingually and translating key terms. Some of our trainings are held bilingually in Finnish and English.
See upcoming training courses in the Finnish Refugee Council’s event calendar.
Please note that the event calendar is currently only available in Finnish, but if the training is held in English or bilingually, we will provide a description of the training in both languages.
