Further information can be found at www.jas-erlangen.de

The need for the scope of youth social work at the respective location must be determined by the local youth welfare office as part of youth welfare planning and confirmed by the youth welfare committee. Further details are set out in the funding guidelines.

If a recognized independent youth welfare organization has been commissioned by the youth welfare office to carry out a JaS measure, it must submit the complete application with the required documents in written form and signed to the youth welfare office. The requirements of the funding guideline must be observed when submitting the application.

The youth welfare office submits its own applications to the responsible government or forwards applications from recognized independent youth welfare organizations with a statement on financial participation.

The government submits the compliant applications with a prioritization to the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labour and Social Affairs.

Youth welfare planning is of paramount importance. Changes to the needs assessment (job increases) or changes at the schools, e.g. through the transfer of classes to another school or the intended establishment of a school social pedagogy position or in-depth vocational orientation, must be coordinated with the youth welfare office at an early stage as part of the planning processes.

The initial application must be submitted to the government three months before the planned start of the measure. Subsequent applications must be submitted by December 31 of the previous year.

After submission of the application ready for decision, a processing time of approx. 3 months is to be expected until the start of the measure.
