Register of organizations

On January 1, 2025, a new national integration program was launched in Finland, with a special focus on the role of civic organizations in the integration process.

Previous experience has shown that integration efforts supported in the native language are the most effective. Immigrant organizations — including Russian-speaking ones — do unique and valuable work that supports the integration of immigrants in Finland. Unfortunately, this work often remains invisible to the authorities. Under the new integration program, municipalities and regional authorities are expected to actively involve local civic organizations in the provision of integration services.

The aim of the unified register of civic organizations is to help regional authorities find your organization for collaboration in integration-related services. To be added to the register, please fill out the registration form. The register is open to all Russian-speaking civic organizations operating in Finland — being a member of the SVK Association is not required for inclusion.
