Launch Pad Finland NGO

We are a passionate group of young people and mentors from Kainuu, Finland. Our assiotiation has operated since 2016 November, but before that, in we had been implementing several international projects as a non-formal group. Now we have 45 members, the board consists of 6 members and 6 vice members. In 2015 we realized an Erasmus+ youth exchange project called Recycling Roadshow by Launch Pad Kainuu, with Spain, Slovakia and Hungary. We managed to build a massive network from local businesses around the project and gained the best development project of the year 2015 - title in the area of Living Kainuu Leader. In March 2017 we built and run a one-month Kajaani Yhdessä Pop Up Community Café and Hub with a purpose to connect people and give them better access to local services in Kajaani. Our association has been invited to represent Finland in The International Youth Week 2017 in Brussels, in June 2017.
