The services are free of charge and subject to confidentiality.
Chance 8.9.Plus offers:
- Learning support
- Counseling on academic and extracurricular issues

- Advice on difficult decisions
- Support during the transition from school to work.

I work as a social education worker with the “Chance 8.9.plus” program in Büchenbach.
What I particularly like about “Chance 8.9.plus” is the combination of academic support and youth social work. I offer academic support to 8th and 9th graders and older teens to help them understand and practice the school material and prepare for their final exams (Quali, MSA, Mittlere Reife). In addition, I’m available as a counselor and mentor to help them plan their future after school, overcome personal challenges, develop solutions, and make their voices heard…

I am a social educator and work as a youth social worker at Chance 8.9.Plus in Anger. In this role, I support young people as they work toward earning their high school diploma and in the time afterward.
I support students starting in 8th grade with their studies and help them prepare for their final exams.
It’s especially important to me during this exciting phase to be a good listener for their concerns and problems and to serve as a mentor to young people on school-related questions as well as other topics.
I’m delighted to be able to support young people as part of my work—both as they work toward their high school diploma and as they move forward into vocational training, careers, and independent living.
