Ronna youth center attracts more girls with lower age limit

In Ronna, Sweden, the new Mosaik activity house youth center drew more girls after relocating from Rösberga fritidsgård.

Narin Özturk, a frequent visitor, said she feels safer at the center now that more girls attend. Youth leader Alva Westerberg believes a key to this success is the center’s lower age limit for visitors. Westerberg explained that starting to know the girls when they are younger allows staff to build a strong and secure environment over time.

This longer-term relationship helps the girls feel safe and comfortable at the center. The center’s approach aims to foster a welcoming space for young women in the community.
