This grant supports activity guides who work to help children and youth who are on the outside, participate in leisure activities. An activity guide functions as a mediator of information and support, helping to lower the threshold for participating in leisure activities. The guide can be contacted via an interest form on the internet or through contact persons in the municipality, a voluntary organization, or club/association. After a child/youth/family has expressed interest, the activity guide contacts the family to find a suitable leisure activity for the child/youth in the local community. The activity guide clarifies practical questions such as payment or need for equipment, follows the child to the leisure activity, and arranges further follow-up. The target group is children and youth aged 0-24 years who are at risk of social exclusion for various reasons, including growing up in low-income families, lacking social networks, lacking connection to school/work, or lacking participation in leisure activities.
