What IN VIA Augsburg e.V. , kath. Verband für Mädchen- und Frauensozialarbeit der Diözese Augsburg does
IN VIA Augsburg e.V. is a Catholic charitable non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) registered in Augsburg, Germany, founded on 23 January 2019. It operates as a specialist field association (Fachverband) affiliated with Caritasverband für die Diözese Augsburg and is part of the IN VIA Bayern e.V. and IN VIA Germany network, which together trace over 120 years of institutional history in girls' and women's social work. The organization delivers free, grant-funded social services primarily to migrant and refugee women, third-country nationals, travelers in distress, and socially disadvantaged youth in the Diocese of Augsburg and the Lindau/Bodensee region.
Its program portfolio spans integration courses (MiA-Frauenkurse, funded by BAMF), early-integration projects for third-country-national women (FIDA & FEDA, funded by AMIF/EU), the multi-location Lebenswirklichkeit in Bayern project funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior, the Orte der Begegnung meeting-place program, employment counseling (Selbstbewusst in das Arbeitsleben), democracy and values education (Werte.Scouting, Werte.Dialog under BMFSFJ's 'Demokratie leben!'), civic-participation work (BePart), and the ecumenical Bahnhofsmission Lindau jointly operated with Diakonie Kempten Allgäu since January 2020. Programs are delivered through in-person workshops, counseling, group meetings, excursions, and station-mission walk-in services, plus online registration and standard video conferencing for digital events. The organization uses no proprietary technology and does not operate any commercial product line.
IN VIA Augsburg is funded through a mix of diocesan support (Diözese Augsburg, disclosed as exceeding 10% of annual revenue), federal and Bavarian state grants (BAMF, BMFSFJ, Bayerisches Staatsministerium des Innern), EU project funding (AMIF), private donations (including St. Vinzenz Stiftung and Nachbarschaftshilfe Lindau), and membership fees. It is governed by an elected volunteer board (Christine Kamm, first chair) and led by managing director Sigrid Pätzold, supported by a small core team of social workers and project staff, a board of six voluntary members, and a network of trained volunteer multipliers who deliver services in multiple languages and cultural contexts.
