Schoolformaat

What Schoolformaat does

Schoolformaat is a Dutch non-profit youth care service provider operating as a branded program under Stichting Jeugdformaat, headquartered in Voorburg, Zuid-Holland. The organization delivers preventive, school-based youth care services directly within primary, secondary, special, and MBO (vocational) educational institutions across the Haaglanden region. With 77 employees, Schoolformaat embeds social workers and behavioral scientists within schools to deliver individual counseling trajectories, group-based interventions, resilience training programs such as "Vrienden," contextual and normalization approaches, and temporary replacement of school care functions.

The service portfolio comprises schoolmaatschappelijk werk (school social work), individuelle trajecten (individual trajectories), groepsgerichte aanpak (group interventions), preventive youth care, and temporary care-function substitution. Schoolformaat runs a sales-led, referral-driven engagement model aimed at schools, education professionals, parents, and students, with a stated one-business-day response commitment to inbound inquiries. Revenue is generated through Dutch municipal youth care contracts under the publicly funded Jeugdwet system rather than through direct fee-for-service billing.

Schoolformaat is not a technology company. It does not operate proprietary software platforms, AI capabilities, APIs, or data products. Its competitive positioning rests on on-site presence within schools and on integration with the broader Stichting Jeugdformaat ecosystem for follow-up clinical care. Market presence is sustained through content marketing, social media, and direct professional referrals rather than through a software or technology stack.
