In addition, the purpose was to describe need of future development the model that arise with the employees' user experiences. The aim is to develop a Nature Voucher model based on the results obtained in the research.

A total of five (N=5) municipal and parish employees responded to the survey. They had used the voucher with a total of 13 (n=13) young people, as each employee had been able to use the Nature Voucher with several young people. A total of nine responses to the questionnaire were received (n=9). The employees felt that the Nature Voucher model brought a new kind of content to their work. Utilizing the model helped to find a new perspective on the work as well as a new kind of con-tent. The employees perceived the change in the operating environment as positive. Nature- and animal-assisted guided activities were considered to have a positive effect on a young person. The employees felt that the guided activity caused positive emotions in the young person.

The activity was seen as a potential method for remedial youth work as well. The employees thought that the model could be part of special care of young people.
