Stichting Jongerenwerk Op Zuid (JOZ)

What Stichting Jongerenwerk Op Zuid (JOZ) does

Stichting Jongerenwerk Op Zuid (JOZ), legally "Stichting Jongerenwerk Op Zuid" (KvK 5533091), is a Dutch non-profit foundation headquartered at Schoonderloostraat 68 in Rotterdam. Founded in 2012 and operating as part of the Groot Rotterdam umbrella, JOZ delivers youth work services to young people aged 10–27 across three interconnected domains: welfare/education, care, and safety. The portfolio comprises five core service lines — Ambulant Jongerenwerk (street-based outreach), Inpandig Jongerenwerk (indoor center work using the proprietary Talenthouse methodology), Online Jongerenwerk (presence on Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat), Intensieve Jongerenaanpak (intensive 12–27 trajectories), and Grenzenstellend Jongerenwerk (boundary-setting work using the Rotterdamse Jongerenwerk Methodiek, SARA, and PBS frameworks).

JOZ's business model is built on multi-year municipal service contracts — primarily with Gemeente Rotterdam (including the Stedelijk Team Jongerenwerk, STJ), Capelle aan den IJssel (STJ deployed from Handhaving since February 2017), and Nissewaard (where JOZ operates Jongerencentrum Westdijk in Spijkenisse) — combined with a secondary revenue stream from the Kenniscentrum JOZ, a national knowledge hub at Kaapstraat 34 (De Arend, Rotterdam) that monetizes professional training, research (with Hogeschool Rotterdam, Hogeschool Inholland, and Erasmus Universiteit), municipal advisory, and the annual "Staat van de Straat" knowledge event (€200 per participant). GTM is community-led and partnership-driven, with embedded networks spanning schools, housing corporations (Havensteder), police (wijkagenten), prosecution (Openbaar Ministerie), probation (Reclassering), and the Veiligheidshuis. As of the input snapshot, JOZ has 79 employees and no disclosed revenue, app, API, or AI/ML product surface.
