Hodina H

What Hodina H does

Hodina H, z. s. is a Czech civic association (non-profit) founded in 2010 and headquartered at Hrnčířská 111, Pelhřimov, in the Vysočina region. The organization delivers non-formal educational, leisure, and developmental programs across four primary user segments: children (from age 2.5), youth (13–30), parents with children, and seniors (50+). Its service portfolio includes a Youth Information Centre (Infocentrum), a Seniorpoint for active aging, long-term primary prevention programs for primary schools, language conversations and tutoring, dance and leisure clubs, summer day camps, and a calendar of recurring regional events such as Edumánie, Logiáda, Dýňová záhada, and Region tančí. The organization is also an accredited host and sending organization for Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps, operating the 'Czech Imprint' sub-brand to host international volunteers (seven hosted in 2025) and runs a Recognition of Non-Formal Education program tied to the Czech National Qualifications System (NSK).

The organization's technology footprint is minimal — standard office software, wifi zones, and digital communications — with no proprietary platform, app, or public API. Operations are delivered directly at the Pelhřimov facility and through partnerships with schools, municipalities, and regional bodies across the Vysočina region; there are no intermediaries in the delivery model. Marketing is conducted organically via Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Flickr, with no paid acquisition evident.

Hodina H is funded through a mix of individual donations (with tiered giving at 100, 500, and 1000 CZK and a 'Friend of Hodina H' recurring club), corporate and in-kind contributions, EU grants (Erasmus+, Erasmus+ Sport), national grants (MŠMT), regional co-financing (Fond Vysočiny), facility and equipment rental, and event/workshop service fees. The organization is privately funded by donations and grants — no equity investors or venture capital — and operates with a small core team of 8 employees led by Chair Daniela Havlíčková alongside project staff Iva Maciá and Eva Havlíčková.
