Centrum voor Jeugd en Gezin Veenendaal

What Centrum voor Jeugd en Gezin Veenendaal does

Centrum voor Jeugd en Gezin Veenendaal (CJG Veenendaal) is a Dutch foundation (Stichting Centrum voor Jeugd en Gezin Veenendaal) that delivers preventive and basic youth and family support services to all residents of the municipality of Veenendaal under a statutory mandate grounded in the Dutch Youth Act (Jeugdwet). Founded in 2015 and operating with 42 staff from a single consolidated headquarters at Markt 20 since March 2024, the organization addresses parenting questions, child developmental concerns, behavioral issues, separation and divorce impacts, and complex family situations for children and youth aged 0-18 and their parents or caregivers.

The service portfolio combines group-based training programs (Triple P / Positief Opvoeden, Pittige Pubers, KIES divorce groups for children, In the Picture for children with ill family members), individual ambulatory support via Jeugd- en Gezinswerkers, the Gastgezinnen (host family) respite program, the Familiehuis collaborative separation intervention, and PGB information services. Distribution relies on home visits, walk-in consultation hours, GP office hours, contact persons assigned to every local school, and digital channels including a self-service appointment website. The technology stack is conventional: ZIVVER for secure client communication, Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA, and Sociaal Domein digital infrastructure for municipal social-services coordination. The organization is Kiwa ISO 9001:2015 certified (renewed November 2024) and is a member of the national Associatie Wijkteams network.

The business model is single-stream municipal funding. The foundation is commissioned by the municipality of Veenendaal to deliver the freely accessible basic provision of youth care, and all services are free at point of use for residents; there is no commercial pricing tier. End users are Veenendaal families and the professionals (teachers, GPs, welfare workers) who refer them; the paying customer is effectively the municipality itself. Governance consists of a single executive director (directeur-bestuurder Els Bouwman) and a four-member Supervisory Board (Raad van Toezicht).
