Recreational activities for disabled people

We offers school-related recreational programs for disabled young people aged 16-20 who are in secondary school vocational programs. The main goal is to promote activity and social inclusion of young people in their free time. The program uses the local environment to train young people in independence, social skills and communication skills.

The program is based on individualized services that try to work with each person's strengths and always try to meet the different needs and interests of the young people. Activities take place between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays at Hitt Húsið on Rafstöðvarvegur.

We accept participants in care categories 1-3 as defined by the Social Insurance Administration. This application is for the start of the fall semester 2019.

Vinfús

Vinfús offers group activities for young people aged 16-25. The group welcomes everyone interested in meeting new people. The aim is to create a healthy foundation for recreation and entertainment.

The group meets weekly at Hitt Húsið, with activities both indoors and outdoors. Our staff plans the schedule in collaboration with the group. Group leaders have extensive experience and knowledge in working with young people.
