Bernd Garbers, the managing director, will continue to steer the fortunes. Christina Haberkamp, ​​who will act as an assessor, is new to the board. In the meantime, Carina Verhoeven was adopted as deputy chair after four years.

As part of the working group "Future", strategies were also worked out that should enable the district youth ring to represent the interests of its member associations loudly and to design suitable offers for young people. This is particularly relevant at a time when the needs of young people vary greatly after new leisure activities and social engagements.

A special highlight is the planned thank you to Berlin. This takes place from October 31 to November 3, 2024 and is aimed at the owner of a youth leader card (Juleica) who volunteer in the district. For only 60 euros, you can take part in exciting program items, which also include a tour of the Bundestag and a tour of the Berlin Unterwelten. The district youth ring would like to set a sign of appreciation for the commitment in youth work.

financing of youth work in the district

Another important aspect that was discussed at the meeting is the revised guideline for the financial promotion of youth work, which will come into force on January 1, 2024. This change enables higher subsidies for free time as well as training and further education opportunities within open child and youth work. "Especially after the Corona period, it is very important that the youth club work is supported as best as possible," said Managing Director Bernd Garbers, all the more because the youth welfare committee and the district council have already decided to increase the funding.

The new selection of the board and the new initiatives of the district youth ring clearly show how important the promotion and support of youth work in the district of Diepholz is. These developments are not only a positive sign for those involved, but also show the commitment that is essential for the needs of youth today.
