The association runs various clubs, courses, and workshops almost daily at its premises in Kruununhaka, as well as larger events around Helsinki. In addition, the organisation occasionally carries out different social, cultural, and integration-related projects.

The purpose of Salad Days Ry is to promote the well-being, social functioning, life management, and integration of people with immigrant backgrounds, and to prevent social exclusion. At the same time, the association aims to strengthen and preserve multicultural and linguistic identity in Finland, especially Russian-speaking and multilingual identities. To achieve its purpose, the association organises a wide range of activities nearly every day, including clubs, courses, workshops, events, and trips. The main language of communication is Russian, but activities are also held in Finnish and English.
