Our thesis includes the product of designing and developing two questionnaires that may be used by our working life partner (09 Helsinki Human Rights). The purpose of our questionnaires is to provide 09 HHR with a platform that allows them to measure the level of positive youth development that their activities provide. This thesis explores the structure of youth work in Finland examining the policies and legislation that are currently in place. Furthermore, we investigate positive youth development through the lens of ecological systems theory. Positive youth development is a focus on creating the most advantageous activities and environment for supporting the growth of youth development. By grasping a detailed insight of how youth work in Finland works and combining this knowledge with our understanding of positive youth development and ecological systems theory we created two questionnaires for our working life partner. Our working life partner intends to use the questionnaires to evaluate and analyse their activities to provide the best possible services to youth.
