Jeugdbond Gereformeerde Gemeenten

What Jeugdbond Gereformeerde Gemeenten does

Jeugdbond Gereformeerde Gemeenten (JBGG), founded in 1931 and headquartered in Woerden, Netherlands, is the designated youth ministry organization of the Gereformeerde Gemeenten denomination. It operates as a Dutch non-profit association (vereniging) holding ANBI status with the Dutch Tax Authority, serving youth, youth leaders, church councils, parents, and donors within the denomination. The organization runs a portfolio that includes the Koers-vakanties holiday program, the Daniël youth magazine and danielonline.nu digital platform, the Kompas Bible study series, training programs (including the consolidated Leergang Jeugdwerk at €149 per participant), theme booklets for religious holidays, and large-scale events such as the annual Bondsdagen (~10,000 attendees), Jeugdbondsymposium, and Daniël Jongerenevent. The organization relies on approximately 150 fixed volunteers plus a small paid staff (11-50 employees) to deliver its programming.

Revenue comes from three streams: (1) tax-deductible donations and bequests under ANBI status, (2) product sales via the organization's webshop (theme booklets at €9.95, the 'Een nieuw lied' songbook, and other youth ministry materials), and (3) training fees for programs such as the Leergang Jeugdwerk. Distribution occurs entirely domestically through direct delivery to member churches, regional training sessions, the webshop, and national events. The 2025 fiscal year closed with a €123,000 deficit (better than the budgeted €239,000 deficit) due to higher fundraising and a €65,000 positive contribution from Koers-vakanties. Recent strategic activity includes a board chairmanship transition in 2025, the launch of the new Leergang Jeugdwerk, the 2026-2027 Jeugdwerkactie 'Een veilige plek' campaign, and continued development of the Vrienden van Daniël entrepreneur donor network.
