What Centrum pro cizince Jihomoravského kraje does

Centrum pro cizince Jihomoravského kraje (Centre for Foreigners of the South Moravian Region, operating as Centre for Foreigners JMK) is a non-profit registered institute (z. ú.) headquartered in Brno, Czech Republic, providing integration support services to foreigners residing in the South Moravian Region. Established in 2008 and operational for 17 years, the organization delivers a unified service portfolio across Czech language instruction (general grammar courses at A1–C2 levels, specialized courses for healthcare professionals, summer intensives, and e-learning), professional counseling (legal, social, and career guidance), mandatory Adaptation and Integration Courses (AIK) for long-term residence permit holders, a Youth Club for ages 14–26, coworking and community facilities, and multicultural activities. Service delivery is supported by multilingual staff covering Czech, English, Russian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Korean, Arabic, Spanish and other languages, and has reached clients from 147 countries of origin across 1,000+ Czech language courses.

The revenue model is grant-funded rather than commercial. The majority of services are provided free of charge to clients; private (non-public) AIK courses are priced at 800 CZK per person as a marginal revenue line. Primary funding sources are the South Moravian Region budget, the EU Operational Programme for Asylum, Migration and Integration (OP AMIF), and the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic, which also serves as data controller for AMIF-funded projects under GDPR. The organization acts as the statutory regional provider of AIK courses (effective 2021) and partners operationally with OPU and Diecézní charita Brno to embed legal and social counseling capacity on-site.

Distribution is via a direct-to-consumer walk-in center at Kounicova 271/13 in Brno supplemented by four regional outreach offices (Hodonín, Bučovice/Vyškov, Slavkov u Brna/Kyjov, Hustopeče), on-site corporate services for employers, and online channels (website, Facebook, monthly newsletter, Zoom counseling). Customer segments span individual foreigners (primary), institutions (schools, hospitals), municipalities, companies hiring foreign workers, and the general public — with named institutional customers including University Hospital Brno, HESTEGO a.s., Elementary School Krásného, and Marmon. The organization is governed by Director Alena Krejčí and an eight-section management team covering intercultural work, education, career counseling, PR, AIK, and regional coordination.
