Free-time clubs, youth clubs and youth school
Children and young people in Aarhus can participate in various after-school leisure activities at free-time clubs (fritidsklub) and youth clubs (ungdomsklub), and they can take after-school classes at youth school (ungdomsskole).
Denmark has a long tradition of children and young people receiving after-school care. This has a big influence on their development, learning, and well-being.
From the age of 10 to the age of 17, your child can participate in activities and events that interest them in a free-time club, a youth club or a youth school, according to their age. Your child will be part of a safe and diverse community built on trust and mutual respect.
There are free-time clubs, youth clubs, and youth school classes across the municipality of Aarhus.
At free-time clubs, youth clubs, and youth school, your child will make friends through a range of activities. In addition, because the common language is Danish, they will learn Danish in a natural setting.
The free-time clubs, youth clubs, and youth school classes are collectively called UngiAarhus (YounginAarhus), which is part of the Department of Children and Young People (Børn og Unge) in the City of Aarhus.
Below you will find the different types of after-school services according to age as well as information about enrolment and fees.
