What Verein für Jugend und Familienhilfen e.V. does

Verein für Jugend- und Familienhilfen e.V. is a non-profit registered association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1993 in Munich, Germany, operating as a recognized freier Träger der Jugendhilfe under the German Social Code Book VIII (SGB VIII). The organization delivers statutory youth and family welfare services across the City of Munich, Landkreis München, and Landkreis Miesbach, employing more than 100 multidisciplinary staff with qualifications in systemic family therapy, trauma pedagogy, coaching, adventure pedagogy, and debt counseling.

The service portfolio spans six core lines: Ambulante Erziehungshilfen (outreach family support), Jugendrichterliche Weisungen (court-ordered programs for juvenile offenders aged 14-21 including environmental and adventure pedagogy weekends), Schulsozialarbeit (school social work embedded at schools across all three jurisdictions), Offene Kinder- und Jugendarbeit (open youth work plus Streetwork outreach and the Jugendkulturzentrum NEXT LEVEL in Taufkirchen), Außer- und nachschulische Angebote (extracurricular learning support), and the Schwarzenberg Alm mountain retreat facility at 1,130m altitude used for adventure and environmental education. All services are free at point of use for families, with no proprietary technology platform — operations rely on human social-work delivery supported by a multilingual, interdisciplinary workforce.

The business model is government-funded managed services: municipal youth welfare offices (Jugendämter) commission and pay for casework under SGB VIII, juvenile courts mandate specific programs, and the City of Munich along with the two districts plus Gemeinde Taufkirchen provide operational public funding. Charitable donations and membership in Der Paritätische Wohlfahrtsverband Bayern supplement the funding base. Leadership is provided by Stefan Hagn (1. Vorstand / Chairman) and Maximilian Hagn (Geschäftsführer / Managing Director), with a network of department and team leads across each service line.
