Valo-Valmennusyhdistys (Valo) is a Finnish non-profit organization/social enterprise promoting inclusion, wellbeing and participation through coaching, rehabilitation, education and community-based support.
We work with people in vulnerable life situations, supporting pathways toward employment, education, independent living and meaningful participation in society.
Our multidisciplinary approach combines practical guidance, psychosocial support and community-based methods in close cooperation with municipalities, educational institutions, employment services and civil society organizations.
Through local and international cooperation, we develop sustainable and inclusive practices that strengthen wellbeing, equality and social participation.
Valo actively contributes to the development of the sector. In Finland, Valo is responsible for coordinating the regional operations of the Finnish Centre of Expertise for Social Enterprises.
Founded in 2016, Valo is an independent organization with no political or religious affiliation.
Valo is committed to transparency, equality and responsible governance. Our work is guided by our statutory mission, professional ethics, multidisciplinary cooperation, and respect for human dignity and participation. We are committed to equality, accessibility and non-discrimination.
