What Stichting PUSH does

Stichting PUSH is a nonprofit welfare foundation (Stichting) founded circa 1980 and headquartered in Hellevoetsluis, Netherlands. The organization executes the full breadth of community welfare work for the municipality of Voorne aan Zee, operating five service teams: Team Jeugd (youth work for ages 10-25), Sportteam (neighborhood sports coaching and health promotion via buurtsportcoaches), Kindteam (family-oriented education for children 9 months to 8 years), Wijkteam (neighborhood work, community mediation, and volunteer coordination), and Sociaal Team (in-home social support).

Its service portfolio spans youth coaching and prevention programs, sports and movement stimulation including JOGG (Jongeren Op Gezond Gewicht) approach coordination, family education programs such as PlusStap and VVE, neighborhood mediation through 37 volunteer mediators, poverty reduction initiatives (Red Cross food aid, Kindpakket, Participatiefonds VaZ), and volunteer matching.

The Kindteam additionally operates in five other municipalities: Nissewaard, Maassluis, Vlaardingen, Schiedam, and Alphen aan den Rijn.

The business model is government-funded welfare services, with the primary revenue stream being municipal contracts. Activity registration fees (typically €1-3 per session for paid activities like children's choir or sports clinics, with most activities free) and a €25 refundable deposit for jumping castle equipment are nominal secondary revenue streams. The organization employs 11-50 staff and is led by CEO Jeanine Kuijpers (since 2010), overseen by a Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board). Technology infrastructure is limited to a standard website with online registration; no proprietary platform or AI capabilities are described.
