LEISURE CARDS AND ACCOUNTS IN NORWAY
A leisure account is money your municipality sets aside so children and young people can take part in a leisure activity. Every municipality decides its own age range and amount, so the rules are local.
Applications opened on 17 August 2026. It covers the whole city, all 15 districts, for children and young people aged 6 to 19, and how much a family receives depends on age and income.

Most municipalities in Norway do not offer one yet. If you work in one and want to know what it takes, we are happy to walk you through it.
