Parental background and financial status impact the well-being of Migrant Youths

In Finland, the well-being of children and the use of services that support their development can be negatively impacted by Parental background, financial status and the use of social and health services

Children of 'immigrant backgrounds' perform worse at Finnish schools.

They also have high drop rates, suffer mental health problems, and have fewer admissions to university programmes.

Youths of immigrant origin drop out of school and outside the workforce.

Sometimes drop-out rate and underemployment are five times (5X) higher than native Finnish youths.

YEPP Ry's commitment to empowering youths is unparalleled. The program helped me bridge the gap between education and the workforce. The group dynamics allowed us to share experiences and learn from each other. I can say without a doubt that YEPP Ry has been a catalyst for my personal and professional growth.

Sarah J Community Advocate

The mentors at YEPP Ry don't just guide; they inspire. Through one-on-one sessions, I gained insights into career paths that align with my passions. The program instills a sense of purpose and direction, and I'm now more confident in pursuing my dreams. YEPP Ry is a beacon of hope for young minds seeking guidance.

As a part of the group mentoring sessions, I found a community that understood my aspirations and fears. The mentorship cultivated a sense of belonging and empowerment. YEPP Ry has given me the tools to navigate the professional world with confidence, and for that, I'm truly grateful.
