JUGEND STÄRKEN – Bridges to Independence helps young people between the ages of 14 and 26. They receive confidential, free, and voluntary counseling for personal and social problems. The focus is on their career development and independence.
From mid-2022 through 2027, the STRENGTHENING YOUTH: “Bridges to Independence” program will support municipalities in initiating services for adolescents and young adults on the threshold of independence who have special support needs. Local youth welfare services manage and coordinate the project. They collaborate across jurisdictional boundaries with independent youth welfare organizations, job centers, employment agencies, and other partners.
