Core offering

BDKJ Diozesanverband Augsburg is the diocesan umbrella federation for nine Catholic youth associations in the Diocese of Augsburg, Germany. It coordinates youth work programs (e.g., 72-Stunden-Aktion, Adveniat-Weihnachtsaktion), provides training and certification for volunteer youth leaders (Juleica), runs specialized gender pedagogy departments (Manresa for boys, Talitha for girls), and administers church and government subsidies for parish and school-based youth work.

Product overview

BDKJ Diozesanverband Augsburg operates as a unified organization providing Catholic youth work services rather than a software product. The organization offers a coordinated portfolio of programs including the 72-Stunden-Aktion social action campaign, the Bischof-Simpert-Preis award program, and the Adveniat-Weihnachtsaktion campaign. Support services include the Juleica youth leader card, grant programs (Zuschüsse) for church and state-funded youth work, and educational materials like the Kaffee- and Schokoladenparcours. Two specialized departments focus on gender-specific youth work: Manresa for boys' pedagogy and Talitha for girls' pedagogy. The organization also maintains a foundation (BDKJ Stiftung) and coordinates eight Koordinierungskreise (coordination circles) for local youth work.
