Detailed description
The target group of hard-to-reach young people are young people between the ages of 15 and 25 who are not or temporarily not reached by the social benefits system. These young people are socially disadvantaged or individually impaired and are therefore unable to find a job or training place or to apply for basic social benefits. The individual problems of young people and their causes are very complex. Examples can be:
- lack of school qualifications, no job/training position
- Deficits in social skills, motivation, resilience and key qualifications
- financial problems/debts, (threatened) homelessness
- family conflicts, difficult biographical histories (growing up in a foster family/residential group or in families with established long-term unemployment)
- health or addiction problems
As part of the funding, you as an educational provider can support these young people in difficult life situations by
- give them an opportunity to accompany them.
- initiate educational processes.
- help them to learn about and apply for basic social security benefits.
In principle, offers of this kind are primarily provided by other social service providers (for example youth welfare services). As a certified educational provider, you can therefore only receive funding if similar offers from these priority social service providers do not exist locally and do not have to be provided as a priority.
The funding can be advertised publicly by the responsible body or can be provided as project funding in accordance with funding law. Project funding must be for a project that is limited in time and content; institutional funding is not possible.
