Youth work; utilization of services

Young people are provided with the necessary youth work opportunities to promote their development. They should be based on the interests of young people and be co-determined and co-designed by them, empower them for self-determination and encourage and guide them towards social responsibility and social commitment.

Youth work is offered by youth associations, groups and initiatives, other youth work organizations and public youth welfare organizations. It includes activities for members, open youth work and community-oriented activities.

The focal points of youth work include

• extracurricular youth education with general, political, social, health, cultural, natural history and technical education,
• youth work in sports, games and socializing,
• work-related, school-related and family-related youth work,
• international youth work,
• child and youth recreation and
• youth counseling.

If you have any questions about youth work, please contact the youth welfare office at the district or county office, the municipality, the district or the Bavarian Youth Council.

The Free State of Bavaria, as the supra-local sponsor of youth work, supports investments in Bavarian school hostels and youth hostels, the Dachau Youth Hostel Foundation, the Prix Jeunesse International children's and youth television festival, the Tandem coordination center for German-Czech youth exchange, the Bavarian Political Youth Ring and soccer fan projects.
