Pro Regio

What Pro Regio does

Pro Regio gGmbH is a German non-profit private limited company (gemeinnützige GmbH) headquartered at Kieler Str. 35, 24340 Eckernförde, that delivers social services across Schleswig-Holstein under five branded program pillars: Migration (Beraten. Unterstützen. Integrieren.), Arbeit (Beraten. Fördern. Eingliedern.), Bildung (Sprache. Kultur. Wissen.), Umwelt (Erleben. Verstehen. Schützen.), and Alltagshilfen (Leben. Teilhabe. Pflege.). The organization has operated alongside its sister entity, UTS e.V. (Umwelt Technik Soziales e.V.), for over 25 years, sharing staff, website, and Geschäftsstelle, and jointly serving as a member organization of Paritätischer Schleswig-Holstein, a leading German welfare umbrella association.

The service portfolio is consolidated into the B.O.A.T. flagship (Beratung. Orientierung. Arbeit. Teilhabe.), which combines counseling, language training for refugees, orientation services, and an applicant-cafe format delivered in both online and in-person modes across Rendsburg-Eckernförde. Delivery occurs through at least nine regional locations in Schleswig-Holstein (Bad Segeberg, Eckernförde, Heide, Itzehoe, Kiel, Kreis Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Nortorf, Osterrönfeld, and Rendsburg). The technical backbone is a conventional WordPress-based shared website (utsev.de) with cookie-consent tooling; no proprietary software platform, app, API, or AI/ML components are referenced. UTS e.V. is certified under AZAV (Arbeitsförderungs-Zertifizierungsverordnung) by TÜV Rheinland (test mark 9000034583), a German regulatory prerequisite for billing approved employment-promotion programs.

The revenue model is that of a welfare-oriented gGmbH: no commercial pricing is charged for services. Instead, the organization finances operations through public-sector grants (enabled by AZAV certification), donations solicited via two dedicated Förde Sparkasse IBANs (one each for UTS e.V. and Pro Regio gGmbH), and a mix of paid staff and volunteer labor. Single-time and recurring donations are accepted, with donation receipts issued on request. Customer segments are beneficiaries rather than fee-paying customers: migrants and refugees, unemployed/socially disadvantaged individuals, education seekers, environmental community members, the elderly and care-needy, and people affected by poverty. Distribution is direct service delivery combined with partner referrals through the regional welfare ecosystem (Brücke, Diakonisches Werk Schleswig-Holstein, Servicebüro Kulturelle Integration, House of Resources).
