Every child is entitled to a good and happy childhood. The Mannerheim League for Child Welfare works to make this possible together with many other organizations, both public and private.
The Mannerheim League is a non-governmental organization (NGO) and membership is open to everyone. It promotes the wellbeing of children and of families with children, increases respect for childhood and seeks to make it more visible, and sees that children’s views are taken into account in public decision-making.
The Mannerheim League is the largest child welfare organization in Finland. It has 86 000 members and 547 local associations throughout the country. The work of these local associations is supported by the League’s 10 district organizations.
MLL Luvia local association's mission is to promote the basic security, wellbeing and healthy development of children, young people and families with children in Luvia and Eurajoki. We for example offer possibilities to take part in different activities with a very low entry fee or without any fee, we encourage people to volunteer and we organize open meeting places for children, young people and families with children. Most of the activity is based on volunteer work.
Most of our activities are organized in finnish, but you are welcome to participate even if you don't speak finnish. We are also open for new ideas and volunteers for activities targeted for the immigrants of our region.
