Fundacja Off School

What Fundacja Off School does

Fundacja Off School is a Polish nonprofit foundation established in 2016 and headquartered in Warsaw (Ul. Wiktorska 29/27, 02-587 Warszawa) that operates across four stated areas: building youth agency, conducting educational activities, running research initiatives, and performing education-system advocacy. It serves four primary segments — adolescents and young adults, parents of adolescents, teachers and educators, and (newer) companies seeking Gen Z workforce understanding — through free programs including psychological counseling and crisis intervention, peer-created lesson scenarios distributed to secondary schools, civic-education campaigns, and corporate training on generational dynamics. Revenue is non-commercial; operations are funded through project-based grants (European Union, EEA/Norway Grants) and donations, with one disclosed grant of EUR 27,134.83 for the Moc na obcasach (Power in Heels) project.

The foundation's core digital asset is its content platform offschool.edu.pl, which functions as a hub for free downloadable educational materials, blog content, and project information. Sub-brands include Dom Spokojnej Młodości (spokojnamlodosc.pl), a repository of free lesson scenarios covering topics such as elections, student rights, and emotional well-being; Dom on Tour, described as the first Poland-wide year-long study on educational system reform engaging young people; Dom Demokratycznej Młodości, a civic-education initiative using film spots and lesson scenarios for 15-18 year olds; Robię to pierwszy raz, an initiative activating approximately 1.5 million first-time voters in 2023; Wszystko gra?, a cross-sector campaign with Teatr Studio linking cultural participation to mental wellbeing; Moc na obcasach, a gender-equality educational series; Mój patriotyzm, a civic-engagement reframing of patriotism; and CEMORY, a Holocaust education project launched in May 2025 with Jagiellonian University. Distribution is omnichannel: free self-serve website downloads for individuals, direct engagement with schools for program delivery, and organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok). No AI-enabled products, APIs, or technical integrations are offered.
