Landesjugendring Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e.V.

What Landesjugendring Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e.V. does

Landesjugendring Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e.V. (LJR M-V) is the state-level youth umbrella organization (Landesjugendring) for the German federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, registered as an eingetragener Verein (registered association) and headquartered at Goethestraße 73, Schwerin. The organization aggregates 22 statewide active youth associations (Landesjugendverbände), three associate member organizations (Anschlussverbände), and the Landesrat der Stadt- und Kreisjugendringe, collectively representing approximately 100,000 young people. With only 8 employees, LJR M-V is structurally a thin coordinating body rather than a service-delivery employer, and it describes itself as the largest and only interest community for children and youth in the state.

The organization's service portfolio is programmatic rather than technology-based. Core offerings include the JuLeiCa (Jugendleiter*innen-Card) certification program for volunteer youth leaders, the Medienscouts MV media literacy project (training grades 8-10 students as peer educators), free vacation programs (Ferienangebote) including canoe trips and camps at the Jugendbegegnungsstätte Plöwen, the Take V for Europe youth conferences, and the COMMPASS international youth encounter project. No proprietary technology platform underpins these offerings; delivery occurs through the member association network and direct programming. International work is supported through partnerships with the Deutsch-Französisches Jugendwerk (DFJW), the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, the Deutscher Bundesjugendring (DBJR), Eurodesk, and the Platform Network for European Youth Activities.

Commercially, LJR M-V is a non-profit and operates no revenue-generating commercial motion. Its funding model is institutional: core institutional funding flows from the Ministerium für Soziales, Gesundheit und Sport des Landes Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with project-based supplements from foundations (notably Stiftung Demokratische Jugend for JuLeiCa module development) and from the European Union (Erasmus+) and DFJW for international projects. All services — including JuLeiCa certification, Medienscouts training, and vacation programs — are provided free of charge to participants. The organization is led by a Vorstand represented by Jana Preuß and Johannes Beykirch, with specialized Referent*innen covering media education, policy, and international affairs.
