2. Put the following points in the order she mentions them in.

Tvibit has a special cooperation with the Department of Health Services: a free health clinic for young people. They offer a free drop-in service with access to doctors and psychologists.

Their goal is that young people make their own projects and their own initiatives. They built the house on empowerment, trust, and a positive view of young people.

Tvibit has a regular staff of 19 people plus additional people and volunteers working on projects. During a normal week, they have around 2500 visits to their installation.

Tvibit has a special fund: the "Tvibit" ladder. Through this fund they give out approximately €100,000 to different projects every year. They have funded around 250 projects all over the northern region promoting different activities for young people like film festivals, music, and art. Their core target group are people from 15 to 30 both amateurs, semiprofessionals, and professionals. They give people access to the building, to equipment, to money, to mentoring, to whatever they need to fulfill their dreams.
