Skills and experience from youth activities

PAM’s youth activities give you a chance to learn about how the union works, make new friends, and gain valuable experience. You can also take part in decision-making and help improve the rights of employees both at your workplace and in the whole service sector.

Many ways to get involved

  • PAM Youth and the steering group – A nationwide network of young PAM members from all over Finland. Any member under 31 can join, learn new skills, and become active in PAM or at their workplace.
  • Regional youth activities – In addition to the national network, PAM has regional youth networks that organise events closer to where you live.
  • Youth Officer in your local branch – Want to influence your own local union branch? Get involved and become the youth officer.
  • International activities – PAM is also active internationally to improve workers’ rights. Young members have many opportunities to join international activities.
  • Volunteer working life ambassadors – We are looking for young volunteers to visit schools and talk to students about working life and employment basics. Ambassadors receive a small payment.

PAM Youth activities are goal-oriented and follow the union’s priority action programme. They focus on helping young members grow into active union members at workplaces and in the union. Youth activities give you knowledge, experience, and skills. You will also meet like-minded people from across Finland. It’s easy to join at any time. Come along either alone or with a friend.

Numerous events and trainings on different topics are organised in many places around Finland. Events and trainings are free for members. PAM covers travel, meals, accommodation, and any extra activities.

PAMin Nuorilla on oma ohjausryhmä, johon valitaan kalenterivuodeksi kerrallaan enintään 10 PAMin Nuorta. Ohjausryhmä johtaa ja innostaa PAMin Nuoria mukaan liiton toimintaan ja vaikuttamaan omilla työpaikoilla. Ohjausryhmä suunnittelee ja toteuttaa erilaisia tavoiteohjelman mukaisia kampanjoita ja toimenpiteitä ja se on ennen kaikkea ääni ja linkki pamilaisten nuorten, PAMin Nuorten ja PAMin johdon välillä.

Ohjausryhmää voidaan täydentää myös kesken toimintakauden, mikäli siihen vapautuu paikka.

PAM advocates for workers’ rights beyond Finland. PAM Youth cooperate with other young union activists in the Nordic countries, Europe, and worldwide.

Every year, PAM Youth members attend international summer camps and seminars. These trips are a chance to learn, network, and share Finnish working life experiences.

Regional youth activities

PAM also organises youth activities in different regions. Local events are easy to join and help you learn, get involved, and meet other young members in your area.

All PAM members under 31 can participate.

Become a youth officer in your union branch

Every local union branch can have a youth officer (nuorisovastaava). Their main role is to encourage other young members to join local, regional, and national activities.

It’s also an easy way to get to know the branch board and make sure that young members’ voices are heard.

Become a working life ambassador

Working life ambassadors visit schools to talk about PAM and the basic rules of working life. They can also give more detailed presentations about collective agreements.

Any PAM member can become an ambassador. PAM provides training for the role.

Compensation: 30 € for lecture and 15 €/hour for duty at info desk. Travel costs are reimbursed according to PAM’s travel rules.
