Become a Kaupunki Kaverit Volunteer

Share what makes your city feel like home

Kaupunki Kaverit is a community-building initiative by House of Helsinki that brings people together through volunteer-led adventures and shared local experiences across the Uusimaa region.

By creating meaningful encounters between people, the initiative helps strengthen participation, social connections, a sense of belonging and resident identity.

As a volunteer, you don't need to be a professional guide. You simply share something you enjoy: your favourite neighbourhood, a beautiful nature trail, local history, architecture, cafés, traditions or a hobby and invite others to experience it together
