KBH+ AskovFonden

What KBH+ AskovFonden does

KBH+ is a youth and culture house located at Emblasgade 175 in Copenhagen Ø, Denmark, operating within a 2000 m2 facility on the border between Østerbro and Nørrebro. Founded in 2012 as a program under AskovFonden (a nonprofit foundation established in 1943), KBH+ serves approximately 250 young people aged 14–30 each week through a portfolio of five interconnected programs: 18+Klubben, an anonymous club offering pedagogical support and crime-prevention activities for 18–25-year-olds; Ungeværk, a free leisure venue with a street art and performance focus for youth from 8th grade through age 17; Projektakademiet, a free 10-month project leadership education for 18–30-year-olds; Kollegiemodellen, a housing-and-support model developed with BikubenFonden for young people with homeless backgrounds; and Café+, an affordable coffee bar that doubles as an entry point and part-time employment opportunity. The organization's core technology is the AIM (Assessment and Intervention Model), a proprietary statistical method for measuring and documenting the effect of social interventions; supporting infrastructure is a standard WordPress-based website with Google Analytics and Instagram presence.

KBH+ operates as a nonprofit with no user fees for any youth-facing programming. Revenue is sourced from operating grants across four departments of Københavns Kommune (Copenhagen Municipality) — Technical and Environmental, Employment and Integration, Children and Youth, and Social Services — supplemented by named foundation grants from BikubenFonden (Kollegiemodellen), Tuborgfondet (Projektakademiet), and Trygfonden (democracy programming), plus smaller grant programs. Distribution is direct and physical: youth access services through walk-in at the Emblasgade facility, referrals from municipal social services, and partnership enrollment through Copenhagen's Youth School (Ungdomsskolen). The organization employs approximately 18 staff, including a Director (Annika Svensson, appointed June 1, 2026), department managers, project managers, social workers, pedagogical staff, and communications personnel.

Documented outcomes include 70% daily participation among 18+Klubben members, 60% retention in jobs or education with KBH+ support, and more than 300 creative project leaders trained through Projektakademiet since 2012. The organization has received top supervisory marks from Socialtilsyn Hovedstaden for 18+Klubben in 2026 (all five categories) and from the pedagogical supervision for Ungeværk in 2025 (5 of 6 categories). Operating geography is strictly Copenhagen, with no multi-region or international footprint.
