Youth Social Work

Read aloud

Young people who are increasingly dependent on support to compensate for social disadvantages or to overcome individual impairments are to be offered socio-educational assistance within the framework of youth welfare.

Areas of youth social work are

  • Youth professional assistance (e.g. in the form of qualification offers, advice, assistance accompanying training)
  • Promotion of the integration of immigrant young people (e.g. through international youth work, youth migration services)
  • General youth social work (e.g. prevention and measures against violence and discrimination)
  • socio-educational assistance for young people who have committed a crime
  • (Extra)curricular leisure and educational activities
  • School- and student-related youth social work
  • Youth housing offers (e.g. in the form of assisted youth residential communities)

Youth social work in schools is also of particular importance. It contributes to the reduction of conflict potentials by promoting the individual and social development of pupils, by working together with schools and parents as well as community institutions.

The promotion of regionally diversified offers and networks is one of the goals of youth social work. Public and independent youth welfare agencies at municipal level perform these tasks in their area of responsibility and are supported by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Social Affairs, Health and Equality and the State Office for Social Affairs, Youth and Family within the framework of project funding, advice and further training.

Who should I contact?

Contact your local youth welfare office.

  • You can find out about the work and tasks of the Lower Saxony State Office for Social Affairs, Youth and Family on the website of the State Office.
