Lernmobil

What Lernmobil does

Lernmobil Viernheim e.V. is a registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1985 in Viernheim, Hesse, Germany, operating under the guiding principle "Integration durch Bildung" (Integration through Education). It delivers a portfolio of educational and social integration services across three municipalities — Viernheim, Lampertheim, and Bürstadt — serving children, youth, and adults with migration backgrounds. Core service lines include Schulkindbetreuung (after-school care) at multiple primary schools, the specialized Förderzentrum Hort am TiB for newly migrated children with German as a Second Language needs (≈60 children in three groups), BAMF-authorized integration courses (Integrationskurse), vocational language training (BQS+ and RiA in cooperation with Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe), the volunteer Integrationslots*innen program, the Zentrum Lesen reading center, immigrant counseling, and the ViernheimVerbindet community participation project. The organization celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2025 and is led by managing director Larysa Kay-Kulakowski with a small team of 17 employees and broader volunteer/staff capacity.

The organization's revenue model is dominated by public funding rather than commercial sales: primary streams are EU ESF+ grants, federal BAMF funding for integration courses, state (Land Hessen) and county (Kreis Bergstraße) subsidies, and municipal contracts under the Pakt für den Ganztag program for school childcare. Secondary streams include course and seminar fees (binding registration with direct debit, check, or cash payment) and parent contributions such as €75/month for school lunchtime meals. The GTM motion is community-led: services are delivered on-site at partner schools and dedicated facilities (Treff im Bahnhof, Haus am Schlangenpfad, Stiftungshaus) and acquired through municipal contracting, school referrals, and BAMF course registrations.

The technology stack is standard non-profit back-office software: DATEV Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen and DATEV Unternehmen online for financial accounting, Microsoft Office for productivity, CleverReach for newsletter distribution, and Google Analytics / Facebook Pixel / Google AdWords for marketing analytics. No proprietary platform, API, mobile app, or AI/ML capability is in evidence. The organization's primary assets are regulatory accreditations (BAMF integration course authorization, Qualitätssiegel der Weiterbildung Hessen, anerkannter freier Träger der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe), municipal contracts, and a four-decade community brand in Kreis Bergstraße.

Offers a much broader geographic footprint than Lernmobil but operates the same BAMF integration course and ESF+ vocational language training programs in many markets.
