Steunpunt Zorg & Onderwijs Fryslân

What Steunpunt Zorg & Onderwijs Fryslân does

Steunpunt Zorg & Onderwijs Fryslân is a Dutch non-profit expertise center (erkende zorginstelling zonder winstoogmerk) headquartered in Leeuwarden, Friesland, focused on children, youth, and young adults who are unable to attend school due to psychiatric conditions, social problems, or physical and/or intellectual disabilities. Founded in 2017 and operating with 24 employees, the organization acts as an independent, non-partisan knowledge hub that provides four interconnected services: free information and advice for parents and professionals, education delivered directly at care locations (in coordination with Praktijkschool Fryslân) including vocational programs leading to recognized certificates, knowledge sharing across the care and education sectors, and bespoke education-care arrangements that match individual youth with tailored day programs and qualified teachers or care providers.

The organization operates as a network entity rather than a direct provider, contracting with most municipalities in Friesland and coordinating schools, care institutions, and youth organizations. Its core technology is the operational model that brings primary, secondary, and vocational education into non-school settings, combined with a published quality standards framework for non-schooling youth. The organization holds ANBI public benefit status and maintains an ISO-certified quality management system, supporting its eligibility for government subsidies and charitable donations.

Funding is derived from three recurring streams: municipal contracts for youth care delivery, school financing for educational programs at care locations, and government subsidies and donations. Information and advice are provided free of charge. Distribution is regional, with a primary service footprint limited to the Friesland province. There is no commercial pricing, no venture or private equity investment, and no disclosed revenue figure.
