Opening hours

Every weekday from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

The job

During school hours, it is generally possible to relax in Garðalundur between classes, during breaks and at meal times. Opening times, however, depend on the presence of staff and may vary due to other reasons.

Open house

During the open houses, Garðalundur's equipment and tools such as billiards, table tennis, darts and game consoles are available. On most evenings, Garðalundur staff and Garðaskóli's social studies program (an elective offered by the community center) offer a program that the young people themselves design and direct.

Larger events

There are several larger events throughout the year, including: a ski trip, an annual festival, a ball, spring trips, and participation in Community events such as the Landsmót, singing competition, dance competition, Stíl and Samfesting.

These events are always well attended and are organized in collaboration between the Social Welfare Department, Garðalundur staff, and Garðaskóli.

Clubs

The goal of club activities is to offer a diverse selection of organized leisure activities in a safe environment. We work with specific interests or themes. Club activities are every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. We welcome ideas for clubs.

Group work

Group work is offered where the projects are based on the needs of the group. Social skills, communication and behavior are worked on. The goal is to empower young people and break social isolation.

We encourage parents to get in touch if they think group activities might be for their child. Otherwise, the groups are formed in collaboration with the school.
