Rieska-Leader ry was established in 1996 so it is one of the oldest Lags in Finland.

We have 7 municipalities and our budget was about 6 500 000 € for the period of 2023-2027.

Our board has 10 members in it, from municipality stakeholders to entrepreneurs or association representatives. One of our board members is always a youngster, under 25 years.
