About Hofið

The building is open from 1:40pm-5pm (during the school year)

Hofið is a specialized youth center for disabled children that serves disabled children and youth attending mainstream primary schools west of the Elliðaá river and Brúarskóli.

You can find more information about participation requirements in Article 2 of the Rules for Reykjavík City Youth Center Services.

Hofið's approach is based on individualized services that build on each person's strengths while always working to meet different needs and interests. The center focuses on increasing social inclusion and encourages participation in general youth center activities.

Hofið Youth Center is one of seven youth centers in the Laugardalur, Háaleiti, and Bústaðir neighborhoods operated by the Kringlumýri Recreation Center. Hofið is located on the Laugalækjarskóli grounds.

Director: Steinunn Sif Sverrisdóttir

Daily activities

Hofið offers fun and diverse club activities. We encourage children and adolescents to suggest club ideas, directly influencing the club program.

We emphasize that time at Hofið is their free time, giving them control over how they spend it. Besides organized clubs, activities like beading, coloring, outdoor play, and games are always available.

Hofið regularly emails parents and sends the club schedule at the end of each month.

Child prosperity

The Act on the Integration of Services in the Interest of Children’s Prosperity has come into effect. The goal is to ensure children and guardians receive the right assistance, at the right time, from the right parties. Families and children in need of early support have guaranteed access to a prosperity contact in the child's immediate environment, such as in preschool or primary school. The prosperity contact offers information and guidance on services and ensures that children and guardians have unhindered access to these services. Children, youth, and guardians can reach the school prosperity contact to request integrated services.

Information on the prosperity contacts for children at the Hofið youth center can be found on the website of the children’s primary schools.
