Spring Youth Professionals

What Spring Youth Professionals does

Spring Youth Professionals (Spring Jeugdprofessionals) is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting SPRING, ANBI-registered) that provides multidisciplinary teams of youth care professionals to nine municipalities in the West-Brabant West region of the Netherlands. Founded on January 1, 2015, to coincide with the decentralization of youth care responsibilities to Dutch municipalities, the organization deploys over 250 youth professionals to municipal local access points, where they serve as the first point of contact for families with parenting questions ranging from light inquiries to complex cases. The organization is part of the Netwerk Maatschappelijke Ontwikkeling (NMO) network, alongside sister organizations Spring Jeugdhulp (case management and ambulatory support in Zeeland and West-Brabant Oost) and MEE West-Brabant (disability support).

The organization's service portfolio includes core youth professional deployment, crisis intervention (Crisis Interventie Team Jeugd, expanded to Spring's flag in 2022), preventive intervention programs (Hechting een goede start for parents and infants), specialized facilities for overloaded youth (Plusvoorziening) and highly gifted youth with social problems (Delta voorziening), street-based youth work (Straathoekwerk), case management (Casusregie), and the KisZ knowledge center for divorce-related issues. Internal training is delivered through SPRING Leerhuis, a proprietary learning and development center, while SPRING Samen serves as an onboarding program for new graduates and career switchers. The organization's stated competitive advantages center on professional quality, multidisciplinary team composition, and continuous training under CAO Jeugdzorg employment conditions.

Revenue is generated through managed-services contracts with the nine municipalities and partner organizations, with additional funding streams from healthcare referral networks (GPs, GGD West-Brabant, child health clinics) and educational partnerships (schools, Samenwerkingsverband ROOS vo). The foundation holds ISO 9001 quality certification, CRKBO vocational education registration, and GDPR compliance, and is governed by a five-member Raad van Toezicht. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; salaries follow the CAO Jeugdzorg collective labor agreement (scale 10, max €5,410/month gross).
