What jungagiert ' Jungagiert.de does

Dresden-based jungagiert e.V. is a registered nonprofit association (eingetragener Verein, Vereinsregister Nr. 7052) recognized as a free provider of child and youth welfare (freier Träger der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe) and as a Selbsthilfekontaktstelle under Saxony's self-help framework. The organization operates a portfolio of sub-brands and project lines spanning media literacy and civic participation (GEDIS, VEREINt, Faktomat), prevention and self-help (InCogito, DISEKO, ZGS, studylife-balance, AufeinanderAchten pre-spin-off, waechstwieder), and community-based media production for youth aged 14-27. Primary audiences are children, teenagers, and young adults across Saxony and Berlin, with secondary audiences comprising self-help groups, schools, universities, and partner nonprofit organizations nationally. The 5-person core staff plus volunteer Vorstand (Anna Frey, Ronny Türk, Heiko Fronert) delivers programs through weekly in-person media workshops at the 140+ sqm Kreativwerkstatt (Weiße Gasse 6, Dresden), school-based exhibitions across Saxony, and digital platforms including in-cogito.de, diseko.de, zocken-gamen-suchten.de, and studylife-balance.de.

The technology stack is content- and platform-centric rather than AI-centric: WordPress-based CMS, video production equipment (laser machines, textile presses, A3 printing, photography corner, 60-inch interactive whiteboards, projectors, video conferencing), touch-screen information pillars for traveling exhibitions (DISEKO), and QR-coded outdoor experience trails (Windbergschatz). Core offerings are project-funded content packages (GEDIS's 40-station interactive school exhibition, InCogito's blog portal combined with moderated digital self-help groups, multi-university studylife-balance deployments on Typo3) rather than software products in the conventional sense. Notable integration features include peer-counseling pipelines (ANAD e.V., DORKAS Gruppe) and clinical partnerships (Universitätsklinikum Mainz, Schön Klinik Roseneck for InCogito 3.0 evaluation and writing workshops).

The revenue model is grant-based rather than commercial. As a registered gemeinnützig association, jungagiert e.V. caps commercial income at 15% of annual revenue and instead relies on project-specific public and institutional funding. Reported 2025 grant inflows totaled €543,404.37 across at least eight funders, with the largest single grant being €204,268.87 from Sächsische Aufbaubank (SAB) for GEDIS. Other major funder categories include statutory health insurers (KKH, IKK Classic), federal engagement and disability foundations (DSEE, Aktion Mensch, Deutsches Hilfswerk, Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk), Schön Stiftung / Schön Helfen gGmbH, software/health-utility foundations (Software AG-Stiftung, Heidehof Stiftung), and Berlin/Landeshauptstadt Dresden municipal sources. Membership fees (€10/year ordinary; €5+/year supporting) and ~5-person paid headcount are immaterial to total revenue. Go-to-market is direct-delivery: peer-driven community workshops in Dresden, school-channel deployments in Saxony and Berlin, self-service digital portals nationally, and awareness generated through Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, Instagram, blog content, and influencer collaborations (MrWissen2go, Marti Fischer, Zate Music, and others).
