Jongeren Informatie Punt Amsterdam-Noord

What Jongeren Informatie Punt Amsterdam-Noord does

Jongeren Informatie Punt Amsterdam-Noord (JIP Noord) is a non-profit, publicly funded youth information center serving residents of Amsterdam-Noord aged 12 to 27. Founded in 2013 and operating with approximately five staff, the organization provides free, anonymous, and confidential information, advice, and light support across ten thematic domains: work and money, health and emotions, violence and bullying, relationships and sexuality, rights and duties, school/study/internship, housing, family and parenting, leisure and sports, and substance use and addiction.

The core delivery model combines a physical walk-in center located under metrostation Noord (Termini 18-22, 1022 LB Amsterdam) with appointment-based consultations and remote contact via WhatsApp, phone, and email. Walk-in hours operate Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 to 16:00; appointments are available Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:00 to 17:00; the site is closed Mondays. JIP also hosts co-located specialist clinics (spreekuren) from partner organizations including Buurtteam Amsterdam (youth debt counseling), Jongerenpunt (work and income), OKT Amsterdam (parent-and-child support), Elance (girls' counseling), perMens (housing and legal youth coaching), and VIA (personal coaching), creating a one-stop access point for multiple municipal and social services.

The business model is non-commercial: all services are free to end users, with revenue derived exclusively from municipal funding via the gemeente Amsterdam and stadsdeel Amsterdam-Noord. There are no proprietary technology products, no software platforms, and no paid customer segments; the underlying "product" is human-delivered social service capacity and an integrated referral ecosystem. Distribution is direct and community-embedded, relying on physical proximity to a metro hub, partner referrals, and organic social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube).

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Dock: Operator of community and youth centers across the Netherlands, including in Amsterdam-Noord (e.g., Buurtcentrum de Valk). Dock and JIP formally redirect youth to one another for leisure and youth-center programming, sharing a municipality-aligned, neighborhood-embedded mission for the same youth demographic.
• Jongerenpunt (Gemeente Amsterdam): Municipal Amsterdam service point focused on youth work, income, and benefits. Delivers weekly 'Werk en inkomen' spreekuren at JIP. Operates the same publicly-funded model but is restricted to work/income topics within the Amsterdam municipality.

Emerging players

• Ouder- en Kindteam Amsterdam (OKT): Municipal Amsterdam provider of family, parenting, and youth-welfare support, including the Problemen thuis / Niet lekker in je vel spreekuren co-located at JIP. Comparable publicly-funded, community-embedded youth/family support model with a narrower family/parenting focus.
• Stichting perMens: Dutch organization providing housing, legal, and financial support for youth and young adults, including the Juridisch Jongeren Coaches co-located at JIP. Comparable in target demographic (16-27) and service domains (housing, legal aid, debt), but narrower in geographic and topical scope.
• Elance (Elance Academy): Dutch provider of counselling and personal-development services for girls/young women. Delivers on-site meidenhulpverlening spreekuren at JIP. Comparable in target demographic and community-services delivery, but narrower in scope (girls-only) and positioned as a specialist within JIP's broader ecosystem.

Direct peers

• JIP Amsterdam: Umbrella network for Jongeren Informatie Punten across Amsterdam stadsdelen. JIP Noord is a member of this network; sibling JIPs in other stadsdelen serve comparable youth (12-27) populations with the same information, advice, and referral model, making them the most direct peer set.
• Stichting JINC: Dutch non-profit that helps young people (typically 12-27) transition from school to work through employer partnerships and coaching. Operates in Amsterdam and other regions with similar age-targeting and focus on socioeconomic mobility, overlapping with JIP's Werk en Geld and stage-coaching work.

Broad incumbents

• Buurtteam Amsterdam: Amsterdam's municipal social-services provider offering integrated neighborhood-level welfare support across all ages. A direct strategic partner of JIP (delivering on-site Jongeren Schuldhulpverlening spreekuren); operates the same community-embedded, publicly-funded model at broader scale.
