Children and youths
Education is divided into two branches: Early childhood education (under 7-year-olds) and youth work. The local manager of early childhood education is the senior early childhood education instructor, and the local manager of the youth team is the youth secretary. The responsible chaplain is responsible for the entire education team.

Pre-youth work operates with 7-14-year-olds. Our operations involve various clubs at different parish locations around Hyvinkää, as well as camp activities for children and parents during the weekends and public holidays.
