Akademie der Jugendarbeit Baden-Württemberg

What Akademie der Jugendarbeit Baden-Württemberg does

Akademie der Jugendarbeit Baden-Württemberg e.V. is a state-funded, registered nonprofit association (eingetragener Verein under §§60 ff. BGB) and the primary continuing education institution for youth work (Kinder- und Jugendarbeit) in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Headquartered in Stuttgart at Haeberlinstraße 1-3 with approximately 10 named staff, the organization serves youth associations (Jugendverbände), open youth facilities (Offene Jugendeinrichtungen), mobile youth work services, municipal youth offices, and individual youth work professionals. Its revenue backbone is state funding from the Ministry for Social Affairs, Labour and Health (Ministerium für Soziales, Arbeit und Gesundheit) via state funds approved by the Landtag, supplemented by participation fees that range from free introductory events to 640 EUR/day for in-house Akademie Mobil training and 85 EUR/hour for Akademie Konzeptionell consulting.

The academy delivers its services through six branded service lines: Akademie Aktuell (topical training), Akademie Exklusiv (exclusive formats including the multi-block Einführungskurse for new professionals at 495 EUR per block), Akademie Mobil (in-house training at client sites), Akademie Konzeptionell (consulting and concept development), and Akademie Kooperativ (jointly developed offerings with state-level partners). Technology infrastructure is modest and conventional: a Moodle-based e-learning platform (elearning.jugendakademie-bw.de) for online courses such as Hygiene Digital, the Matukio Joomla extension for event registration and ticketing, and Zoom for online seminars. The organization also operates Jugendarbeitsnetz.de, the central information portal for youth work in Baden-Württemberg, managed on behalf of the Landesjugendring and AGJF.

Specialized programs include the modular Qualifizierungsreihe Inklusion culminating in Prozessbegleiter*in certification, the Wirksam Führen leadership series, the OKJA lateral-entry Lehrgang for career changers, the Hygiene Digital e-learning course (co-developed with Evangelisches Jugendwerk in Württemberg and funded by Aktion Mensch), and Bildungskonzepte certification that enables youth organizations to access state Landesjugendplanmittel under simplified procedures. The democracy education program Wir sind dabei! Wertstätten der Demokratie is funded by Baden-Württemberg Stiftung and administered jointly with Landesjugendring BW. As of July 10, 2025, the academy is recognized as an approved education provider under §10(7) of the Bildungszeitgesetz Baden-Württemberg, enabling employer-funded Bildungszeit participation. The organization is led by Managing Director (Geschäftsführung) Anja Mütschele.

• Aktion Mensch: Large German social-impact organization funding inclusion and youth projects; directly funds the 'Hygiene Digital' e-learning program at the Akademie and operates adjacent inclusion/youth programs at national scale — broader incumbent in the same funding ecosystem.

Direct peers

• AGJF Baden-Württemberg e.V. (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Jugendfreizeitstätten): The state working group of open youth facilities in Baden-Württemberg; co-develops and co-delivers the OKJA entry-level Lehrgang and introduction courses with the Akademie and provides discounted Akademie Mobil pricing to its members — a co-producer and co-competitor in the same training niche.

• Kommunalverband für Jugend und Soziales Baden-Württemberg (KVJS): The municipal welfare association for youth and social affairs in Baden-Württemberg; co-organizes introduction courses for new youth work professionals and supplies the KVJS Tagungszentrum Gültstein as a training venue — a peer in state-level youth work qualification with a wider municipal-services mandate.

Regional players
