The right to propose candidates for this office lies with the above-mentioned providers and institutions that are active in the area of girls' work or integration assistance.

Background to youth welfare
Youth welfare in Germany is based on this Social Code VIII, which, among other things, emphasizes the right to education and the responsibility of parents. It defines the tasks of youth welfare and promotes cooperation between public and private youth welfare. The focus is also on the participation of children and young people in decision-making processes in order to protect their interests and needs.
The commitment of citizen deputies and advisory members is essential for the further development of youth welfare in the Pankow district. They help ensure that the support offers are tailored to needs and qualified, thus ensuring the best possible support for young people and their families.
