Stichting Jeugdwerk 's Gravenhage Oost

What Stichting Jeugdwerk 's Gravenhage Oost does

Stichting Jeugdwerk 's Gravenhage Oost (operating as Stichting Jeugdwerk Den Haag) is a Dutch foundation (Stichting) that delivers youth work and community services from a headquarters at van Mierisstraat 226 in Den Haag, the Netherlands. The organization runs four neighborhood centers — SamSam, SamSon, Jeugdhaven, and Buurtcentrum Octopus — and serves residents across age cohorts: Kinderwerk for children aged 4-12, Jongerenwerk for youth aged 12-24 (including the Make-a-Move girls' group), and Volwassenenwerk for adults through the Octopus center.

The portfolio spans nine named programs and projects. Core services include the Kinderwerk, Jongerenwerk, and Volwassenenwerk streams, supplemented by the Baby & Dreumes Café for parents with children aged 0-2.5, the Meeleren met je peuter parent-child course, the 12-week Gezond opvoeden (Healthy Parenting) course, and a customizable after-school activities program covering robotics, homework support, cooking, storytelling, NT2, citizenship and philosophy for partner schools. An annual Theaterkamp at kamphuis de Wildwal in Lunteren and venue rental of Zaal Sam Sam (capacity 82) and Theaterzaal SamSon (capacity 115) round out the offering. The underlying technology stack is limited to a standard content-managed website (jeugdwerk.nl) with active Facebook outreach and no proprietary platform, API, or data infrastructure.

The revenue model is structurally non-commercial. The vast majority of programs are delivered free of charge to Den Haag residents, with monetization occurring through Dutch charitable grants (Oranje Fonds, Fonds 1818, Stichting Leergeld Den Haag), municipal co-funding (Gemeente Den Haag), and modest earned income from venue rental. Distribution relies on physical presence across the four community centers and embedded partnerships with schools (Carolusschool), welfare organizations (Wijkz, De Mussen), the public library, and local police. The organization employs 1-10 staff, is led by Director Rutger Wijnands, and operates exclusively within the municipality of Den Haag with no international footprint.
