Rae Youth Center

Rae Youth Centre is an institution managed by Rae municipality. We have 5 youth centers all over the municipality: Peetri, Järveküla, Jüri, Lagedi and Vaida. The main objective is to organise young people's free time and provide them with quality leisure. Our target group are youngsters 7-26. Rae Youth Center works on the principle of opened youth center: opened for everybody, equal partnership, equal opportunities, supporting education and enterpreneurship, learning through games and play, promoting well-being, social inclusion. Open facilities of the youth center allow young people to spend their free time using means such as the billiards, table tennis, board games, Xbox, stereo system for listening to music, TV and DVD player for watching movies, photo cameras, computers and a video projector free of charge. Young people can also organise their own events in youth centers, such as movie nights, competitions etc. Every month youth centres have specific activities in which young people can take part. In order to support the entrepreneurship of young people, they have the opportunity to write and implement projects for some event or contest at the youth center. We organize lot of big events, such as youth conference, youth festival, camps for youngsters, work camp for 240 youngsters. Also we help schools and municipality to organize their events. In order to make the center's everyday life more culturally diverse Rae Youth Center is working with European Solidarity Corps so that international volunteers can bring their culture into youth work. In order to develop international youth work and give young people the opportunity to learn between cultures, we want to organize more ourself and participate in youth exchanges.
