Volunteer with us
Many ways to help
-
Help someone through their hardest moment. Offer your calm presence by phone, online, or face to face. You will receive training, ongoing support, and rewarding volunteer work. You can change a life!
Please note that volunteering in our crisis support channels requires fluent Finnish language skills.

Join our professionals in guiding nature‑ and art‑based groups for asylum seekers. By meeting people where they are, you make a meaningful contribution to those in a challenging life situation.
In these activities volunteers are required to have knowledge of Finnish or English.

As a volunteer, you can contribute your skills for the common good — for example in communications, event organisation, or advocacy work. These roles require fluent Finnish language skills.
Give your time – help promote mental well‑being
Are you looking for meaningful, educational and challenging activities in your life? Are you interested in meeting and supporting people who are in a crisis or facing a difficult life situation? Are you able to approach even tough topics with empathy and calmness?
If your answer to these questions is yes, we encourage you to consider whether volunteering with our association could offer you the sense of purpose and challenge you are looking for.
As a volunteer, you give your time to someone going through a difficult moment in life, and you help build a world where no one has to face their worries alone. Even one encounter can change a life.
At MIELI Crisis Center Turku, you will receive training and ongoing support to grow in your volunteer role. You will also become part of a community of volunteers who care deeply about mental well‑being. Alongside the joy of helping others, volunteering offers unique perspectives on yourself and the society around you. Studies have shown that volunteering can also positively impact your own perceived quality of life and health.
Most of our volunteer roles require fluent Finnish. However, if you speak English, you can volunteer in our Serene activities.
