Offers for children and young people

Youth work according to the meaning of Section 11 SGB VIII is aimed at all children and young people and promotes the social participation of young people. In addition to the city of Salzgitter with its children’s and youth village support, educational institutions, clubs, youth associations, youth initiatives and migrant organizations provide youth work, advice and support as independent providers. These providers work together with the city’s child and youth support team in a working group according to Section 78 SGB VIII to coordinate measures and offers well and plan them according to needs.

Youth work should enable social responsibility and participation. The effectiveness develops through a voluntary principle, based on the interests of young people. The focus is on youth education outside of school – with international, sporting and cultural youth work as well as youth political and democracy education.
