Young people show commitment: Over 8,000 participants in Baden-Württemberg!

In the district of Reutlingen, over 100 young people tirelessly go to work! As part of the “Participation” campaign, they will show their operational readiness in 2024. According to the reports of Reutlingen , around 8000 young people are involved. This Initiative enables employers to make contact with young people at an early stage and to bring them closer to the opportunities in various professional fields. The campaign week took place from December 2 to 6, 2024, with the young people being able to earn over 228,000 euros for a good cause.

Extensive support from Oberlin youth welfare

The Oberlin youth welfare in Reutlingen offers a wide range of support services for children and adolescents, as described in the report of Bruderhaus Diakonie . Measures for promoting and participation are implemented here in order to counteract social challenges. Offers range from advice for families to special projects for children with disabilities.

The initiative "Participation" is an integral part of the commitment in the region, which is supported by partnerships with organizations such as Oberlin-Jugendhilfe and the Baden-Württemberg Bank. The goals are both the promotion of social sense of responsibility for young people and the creation of internships, which can be crucial for later professional orientation. But the commitment goes beyond professional orientation by also upgrading the living environment of young people and creating positive living conditions.
