Educational assistance is based on the following paragraphs.

The work is carried out according to an intercultural professional approach that takes into account different values, identities and lifestyles as well as parenting styles. The children, young people and families are cared for and supported taking into account their own resources, their social reference and their social environment.
The focus is on working with families, children and young people with and without migration or refugee experience who live in Berlin and can be offered in several languages such as German, Kurdish (Kurmancî, Soranî, Kirmanckî/Zazaki), Turkish, Arabic, Farsi and Dari.

With “YoutHome” (YH), we are opening a residential child and youth welfare facility (offer is based on Section 34 SGB VIII residential care, other assisted living arrangements) for male unaccompanied and accompanied underage refugees. As the name suggests (youth = young person and home = home), we want to give this vulnerable group a new home and provide them with educational support on their path to adulthood with all its challenges.

The project “Counseling for young men traveling alone” offers psychosocial support for young adults traveling alone up to the age of 27 in accordance with §13 SGB VIII from 01.06.2024. Counseling is provided in Turkish, Kurdish, Persian and Pashto.
