Jugend-Hilfe-Verein Kreis Ahrweiler: Support for youth work even after the flood

The Jugend-Hilfe-Verein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. has been an important pillar of youth welfare in the district of Ahrweiler for over 35 years. The association's work is aimed at young people and young adults who are looking for vocational guidance, qualifications and support. Especially after the devastating flood disaster in the summer of 2021, the association played a central role in offering young people in the Ahrweiler district prospects again and helping them to pursue their career goals despite the difficult circumstances. Thanks to the WIRTH Foundation the association was able to purchase new training tablets in June 2022 and thus further advance the vocational qualification of young people.

The work of the Jugend-Hilfe-Verein Kreis Ahrweiler

The Jugend-Hilfe-Verein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. (JHV) offers young people and young adults aged 16 to 30 a wide range of support and training opportunities. The association accompanies young people on their path to a career and supports them in their professional orientation, training and the acquisition of additional qualifications.

The association's most important programs include

• Vocational orientation and qualification: With programs such as EddA (Successful through training) and JUMP (With additional qualification in training) young people are supported on their path to a professional future. These projects help them to orient themselves professionally, acquire qualifications and make a successful start to their working lives.

• School social work: The association is also in the ASD-related school social work and currently looks after four schools in the Ahrweiler district. There he supports pupils

  in everyday life, offers a sympathetic ear for private and school problems and helps them to overcome challenges.

• Project LOS (Life without debt): For young adults up to the age of 35, the association offers the project LOS which shows them ways out of the debt trap and supports them in financial self-management.

The work of the Jugend-Hilfe-Verein Kreis Ahrweiler is designed to give young people the tools they need to be successful in their professional and private lives. Especially after the flood disaster in 2021, which destroyed large parts of the district of Ahrweiler, the work of the association was crucial in giving young people prospects again.

The impact of the 2021 flood disaster

The flood disaster in the summer of 2021 hit the district of Ahrweiler hard. Many families lost their homes and the infrastructure for education and vocational training was also severely damaged. Many schools and educational institutions faced major challenges, and the Ahrweiler District Youth Aid Association also had to replace a considerable amount of its equipment in order to continue its work.

Among other things, the flood caused many Training tablets which were available to the young people in the association's qualification programs. These tablets are an important part of vocational training, as they provide access to learning materials, online courses and vocational training opportunities.

Support from the WIRTH Foundation: New training tablets

In June 2022, the WIRTH Foundation financially supported the Jugend-Hilfe-Verein Kreis Ahrweiler to provide the urgently needed Training tablets to replace them. These new tablets are crucial to ensure that young people continue to have access to digital education and vocational qualifications.

"The support from the WIRTH Foundation was a blessing for us," said a spokesperson for the youth aid association. "Thanks to this donation, we were able to react quickly and provide the young people with the technical resources they need for their training."

The new tablets enable the young people to continue to take part in the association's qualification and training programs, even though the infrastructure has still not been fully restored in many parts of the region. They are an important step on the road to normality and help the young people to develop career prospects despite the difficult circumstances.

Long-term support for young people

The youth work of the Jugend-Hilfe-Verein Kreis Ahrweiler is designed to offer young people long-term support and provide them with the skills and qualifications they need to be successful in their professional lives. Programs such as EddA and JUMP are specifically designed to facilitate the transition from school to work and provide additional qualifications that are an advantage on the labor market.

By working closely with schools and providing support with personal and academic problems, the association creates a basis of trust on which the young people can develop. The project in particular LOS - Life without debt offers young adults valuable help to free themselves from the debt trap and become financially independent.
