Outlaw Kassel gemeinnützige GmbH

What Outlaw Kassel gemeinnützige GmbH does

Outlaw Kassel gemeinnützige GmbH is a non-profit limited liability company (gemeinnützige GmbH) founded in 2012 and headquartered at Holländische Straße 208, Kassel, Germany, with operational sites across the Kassel urban area and the Göttingen region of Southern Lower Saxony. It operates as a publicly commissioned social enterprise under the umbrella of Outlaw. Die Stiftung (the Outlaw Foundation), focusing on youth welfare, vocational training, and labor-market integration. The organization is led by managing directors Natascha Meiberth-Brück and Daniela Keßling and had 71 staff as of January 2019, with a workforce composition of approximately 57% women and 43% men.

The organization's service portfolio combines practical workshop facilities (Mediengestaltung/media design, Holzwerkstatt/wood, Metallwerkstatt/metal, AGH Fahrradwerkstatt/bicycle repair, EinLaden) with 20+ publicly funded programs covering activation and placement vouchers (AVGS), German language courses (Deutsch Plus, Sprachcafé), the Kasseler Produktionsschule, school-to-work transition (JET), stabilization coaching, family counseling, and specialized projects targeting migrants, women, and parents (SAMBA, DIGI TURN, EMbO, Teilzeitausbildung, AGH für Frauen). Distribution is direct via nine physical locations where participants attend in person; there is no software product, API, or proprietary technology platform.

The revenue model is professional-services delivery funded primarily through German public-sector contracts. Buyers include the Agentur für Arbeit (under SGB II/III), Stadt Kassel, the Gesundheitsamt Kassel, and EU funding programs. Participants access services free of charge as costs are publicly subsidized. Pricing is therefore not transactional but tender-based, with revenue mechanics tied to contract awards, program-specific budgets, and policy-driven funding cycles. The organization has supplemented this model with a public donation channel and maintains a transparency section, but government commissioning remains the dominant revenue source.

Direct peers

• Fortbildungsakademie der Wirtschaft (FAW): Non-profit vocational training provider delivering activation, retraining and integration Maßnahmen for the Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Operates the same AVGS / SGB II/SGB III funded service mix as Outlaw Kassel at significantly larger national scale.
• Arbeit und Leben Hessen: Workforce development non-profit providing political and vocational education, including integration and qualification programs for unemployed adults; comparable funding base (DGB-related) and beneficiary mix.
• Internationaler Bund (IB): Large German non-profit operator of vocational training, youth welfare and migration-integration programs, including AVGS Maßnahmen and Produktionsschulen. Comparable mission structure (gemeinnützig) and commissioning relationships with Agentur für Arbeit and Jobcenter.
• Caritasverband für die Diözese Fulda e.V. Regional Caritas affiliate operating youth welfare, migration counseling and employment-support services in the broader Hessen/Nordhessen area, mirroring Outlaw Kassel's mix of Kinder- und Jugendhilfe plus labor-market integration work.
• BBZ Berufsbildungszentrum Kassel: Regional vocational education provider in Kassel delivering metalwork, woodwork and other trade training very similar to Outlaw Kassel's Werkstatt model; competes for the same apprenticeship and school-to-work transition population.

Broad incumbents

• Diakonie Hessen: State-level federation of Protestant social welfare organizations offering vocational integration, language courses and family support services across Hessen, including Kassel. Overlaps on beneficiary segments and funding streams but is a larger umbrella structure.
• bbw Bildungswerk der Bayerischen Wirtschaft: Large employer-affiliated vocational training group in Bavaria offering apprenticeships, retraining and integration services to a similar beneficiary population (youth, unemployed, migrants), though serving a different primary geography.
• Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK) Bildungswerk Hessen: National humanitarian non-profit with regional Hessen operations offering youth welfare, family services and integration courses — overlaps with Outlaw's family-counseling and migration-integration line of service.

Emerging players

• VHS Volkshochschule Kassel: Local publicly-funded adult education center providing German language courses and integration classes that overlap with Outlaw's Deutsch Plus and Sprachcafé offerings. Acts both as collaboration partner (venue for joint events) and indirect competitor for municipal integration funding.
• BQS Bildung und Qualifizierung im Sozialwesen: Mid-size German vocational training provider focused on social-economy and integration qualifications, overlapping with Outlaw's Coaching SoWi and Stabilisierung programs for participants entering employment.
