Kinder- en Jongerenrechtswinkel Amsterdam

What Kinder- en Jongerenrechtswinkel Amsterdam does

Kinder- en Jongerenrechtswinkel Amsterdam (legal entity: Stichting Kinder- en Jongerenrechtswinkel; operating as Kinderrechtshulp Amsterdam) is a Dutch nonprofit foundation founded in 1985 and headquartered at Rustenburgerstraat 380, Amsterdam. The organization provides free legal advice and assistance to children and young people up to age 21, with a specific extension to age 23 for criminal law matters. Service delivery is volunteer-led and reaches end users through a multi-channel stack — phone (020-6260067), WhatsApp (06-33199768), email ([email protected]), anonymous website chat, Instagram DM, and in-person consultations during stated office hours (weekdays 15:00-18:00 and the first two Saturdays of each month 10:00-13:00).

The core product is the free legal advice service, supported by topic-based informational web pages covering rights, criminal law, work and income, finances, home situations, school, and abuse/mistreatment. Adjacent educational products include the Spreekbeurtpakket (a school presentation package on children's rights) and Voorlichtingen (general educational presentations). The underlying technology is minimal: a WordPress-hosted website with a contact form and chat widget — there is no proprietary platform, mobile app, API, or disclosed software architecture.

The business model is nonprofit: as a stichting, the organization sustains operations through donations and sponsorships (a dedicated "Doneren & Sponsoren" page is maintained) and explicitly charges no fees to service users. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on direct outreach to Amsterdam youth, organic social media presence on Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn, school-based presentations, and word-of-mouth referrals. No parent company, institutional investors, or private equity backing are indicated. Reported headcount is 36, though the organization publicly self-describes as a vrijwilligersorganisatie, suggesting the volunteer-versus-staff composition is opaque.
