Kinder und Jugendhilfe im Verbund

What Kinder und Jugendhilfe im Verbund does

Kinder und Jugendhilfe im Verbund is the brand name of S&S gemeinnützige Gesellschaft für Soziales mbH, a Hamburg-domiciled charitable limited company (gGmbH, HRB 92579) founded in 1981 (originally as "Sozialarbeit und Segeln e.V.") and reorganized into its current legal form in 2005. The organization is a recognized freier Träger (independent welfare provider) delivering child, youth, family, and integration assistance services under German Social Code Book VIII (SGB VIII) and Book IX (SGB IX). It operates nine legally non-independent but pedagogically autonomous regional divisions — including Familienarbeit und Segeln, family support Hamburg, FÜR SOZIALES Hamburg, FÜR SOZIALES Schleswig-Holstein, KOMPETENZWERK, Sozialarbeit im Norden, socianos Berlin, Sozialmanufaktur Berlin, and FleXX Soziale Hilfen — through 13 branch offices (Geschäftsstellen) across five German federal states (Berlin, Brandenburg, Hamburg, Niedersachsen, Schleswig-Holstein).

The service portfolio spans the full statutory catalog of Hilfen zur Erziehung (§§ 18, 19, 27(2), 29, 30, 31, 34, 35 SGB VIII) plus Eingliederungshilfe under SGB IX (Ambulante Sozialpsychiatrie, Hilfen für Familien mit behinderten Kindern), foster care, unaccompanied minor refugee services, social-spatial projects (SHA: Palstek, NoMi), the Hamburger Gewaltschutz-Zentrum, Kind(ge)Recht counseling, pro-aktiv training, and the wellcome postnatal support program. Technology footprint is minimal: no app, no API, no disclosed software product, and no AI/ML capabilities. Quality management is formalized through an ISO 9001-aligned QM handbook first issued in March 2009 and revised in 2014 and 2019, with membership in the Qualitätsgemeinschaft Kinder- und Jugendhilfe (QG KiJu) affiliated with DPWV.

Revenue mechanics are entirely government-funded managed-services contracts: municipal Jugendämter (youth welfare offices) commission services after individual needs assessments and pay on a per-case basis. The organization is a member of DER PARITÄTISCHE Spitzenverband across Berlin, Brandenburg, Hamburg, Niedersachsen, and Schleswig-Holstein. Leadership comprises two Managing Directors (Geschäftsführung: Frederik Näher and Norbert Wollner) supported by divisional Bereichsgeschäftsführungen. Revenue, headcount, and unit-level financials are not publicly disclosed.
