Silta-Valmennusyhdistys is a non-profit, value-based association founded in 2001 by non-governmental organisations in Tampere, Finland, with roots in a prison aid society from 1869. It works nationally, with its main base in the Tampere region and operations also in Uusimaa. Its main goal is to increase societal equality, individual participation and welfare by coaching people who are hard to employ and helping them improve their ability to work and function and find their place in society. Services include workshops (work communities where people learn by doing), vocational special needs education with vocational colleges, social rehabilitation, supported housing, substance abuse and offender rehabilitation, integration training for immigrants, and youth outreach work. Silta is organised around nine service locations and 18 workshops and employs about 100 people. Its services are mainly ordered by public sector actors, and it also sells goods and services produced in its workshops. It runs a range of EU-cofinanced and national projects and is a member of the European WISE Alliance.
