Centre Students Finland is a community of students that share the same centric values. KOL or CSF is a general policy organisation, but we have a special interest in student affairs. We aim to improve possibilities for studying and for the equality of opportunities. Among other things students financial aid, accessible education and employment are essential to our cause.
SCF was founded in 1937 as a educative organization. Our cause is to make a change in our society but also awaken a desire for political and community activity in students. Our local chapters that work in university cities and towns are glad to welcome new members and it’s simple to move from local activity to national politics.
