Paritätisches Bildungswerk

What Paritätisches Bildungswerk does

Paritätisches Bildungswerk (doing business as GPS RPS, Gesellschaft für psycho-soziale Rehabilitation) is a non-profit social services organization affiliated with the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband, a major German welfare association. Headquartered in Saarbrücken at Försterstr. 39, the organization operates 13 wholly-owned service subsidiaries across four locations (Saarbrücken, Mainz, Nonnweiler, Bullay) in the Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate regions. Its service portfolio spans eight divisions: Pflege (care), Kinder & Jugendliche (children & youth), Kindergärten (three kindergartens), Psychiatrie (two psychiatric day clinics and an outpatient clinic), Wohnen und Teilhabe (housing and participation), Straffälligenhilfe (offender assistance), Bildung und Beratung (education and counseling, including the Genderkompetenz-Zentrum and Mehrgenerationenhaus), and Therapie (physiotherapy).

The organization's flagship offering is the Genderkompetenz-Zentrum, which operates the Fachstelle Mädchen*arbeit (girls' work), Fachstelle Jungen*arbeit (boys' work), and TIN* work units. The center delivers consultation, continuing education, expert conferences, and workshops targeting pedagogical multipliers, specialists, and children/youth groups. Notable programmatic assets include the 'Medienkoffer Geschlecht und Vielfalt' lending media kits for KIDS and YOUTH groups, a specialized Material- & Fachbibliothek, and a Referent*innen-Pool. Additional offerings include corporate social counseling, multi-generational community programming, ambulatory and home care, psychiatric day treatment, dementia counseling, residential housing, and offender reintegration services.

Revenue is derived entirely from non-commercial sources: government social service contracts, donations, and project-based grants. The organization has no public pricing, no disclosed revenue, no venture or private equity backing, and operates under the governance of its shareholders Paritätischer Förderverein and Stiftung Parität. Customer-facing channels include Instagram, quarterly PDF newsletters, annual program publications, and brochures. The organization is actively hiring and has recently received lottery funding from GlücksSpirale to digitize personnel deployment planning at one of its kindergartens, suggesting incremental operational modernization rather than commercial expansion.
