Youth clubs play a crucial role in young people’s well-being, mastery, and sense of belonging. A previous survey conducted by Youth and Leisure in collaboration with Save the Children highlighted the need for more high-quality clubs. 

The project is a collaboration between the Institute for Social Research and the research centers NOVA and AFI at OsloMet.
