About Sisu Youth Organisation
Sisu Youth Organisation was founded in 2025 in Helsinki by a small group of students at International School of Helsinki who used to be national level athletes in Finland and who believed sport could open the doors for displaced youth in the Finnish society.
To make sport accessible to every displaced young person in Helsinki — and to make every club a place where they belong.
A Finland where every young athlete — no matter where their journey began — finds a team, a coach, and a future on the field.
Our values
Resilience
Like the birch, we bend without breaking. We meet every young person where they stand.
Belonging
Sport creates a place where language and background fall away. The team is home.
Care
We treat well-being as seriously as performance — for every athlete, every coach.
Integrity
Transparent, accountable, and led by the voices of the young people we serve.
Rooted and growing.
