Who we are

United Vision ry is a youth-led NGO in Helsinki, registered on 13 September 2023. We work with young people aged 15 to 35 and with partners across Europe.

We run youth exchanges, training courses, volunteering, internships and one-to-one guidance, so young people can turn ideas into real experience.

Our work focuses on inclusion, digital skills, solidarity, sustainability and leadership. Since 2023, 116 young people have taken part 160 times in 43 projects across 18 host countries.

Why we started

Many of us came to Finland as young newcomers. We saw that funded opportunities existed, but the information rarely reached people like us.

So we started United Vision to share those opportunities in plain language and to help young people apply.

Today more than 1,000 volunteers help us reach over 1,000 young people every year.
