The BJR is the working group of 34 national and 40 (supra) regional youth associations and 323 local youth groups in Bavaria. Structurally, it is divided into seven district youth associations and 96 city and district youth associations. The BJR stands up for the interests of children and young people in Bavaria. In addition, the BJR has been assigned all essential tasks of a state youth welfare office in accordance with Section 85 (2) SGB VIII by statutory order since 1993 .

history

The BJR was founded after the Second World War in 1947 as a follow-up organization to the State Youth Committee that existed from 1946 to 1947. The first chairman was Alois Johannes Lippl . In 1948 Martin Faltermaier was the President of the BJR. The Vice President was Heinz Beck until 1951 . In the spirit of international understanding , further training was carried out for teachers in schools for youth leaders, for example in Schloss Neubeuen and Niederpöcking , and from mid-1949 at the instigation of the youth department of the US military government in Bavaria, in which delegations (including Alfred Christmann, Gerhard Fauth , Willy Ginhold ( DGB ), Anton Graßl , Helene Guyot, Karl Maly (BJR) and Lilo Ramdohr ) traveled to the United States. The delegates were given modern knowledge of youth psychology, and this was the first time they were incorporated into German youth work in the post-war period.

structure

The Bavarian Youth Ring is self-administered and supervised by the Bavarian State Government . As a corporation under public law, it occupies a special position among the youth groups in Germany, because the BJR also takes on public tasks. In the field of youth work, for example, he also performs the tasks of the supra-local agency for public youth welfare. BJR bodies elected by youth organizations deal with tasks that are carried out by state authorities in other countries. Most of the youth associations active in Bavaria are members of the Bavarian Youth Association and send representatives from their ranks to the meetings of the Bavarian Youth Association and its branches.

The Bavarian Youth Ring has local subdivisions corresponding to the regional authorities in Bavaria. It is the working group of 34 national and 40 (supra) regional youth associations and 323 local youth organizations in Bavaria.

Structurally, it is divided into seven district youth councils, whose area of ​​responsibility corresponds to the Bavarian government districts , as well as 96 city and district youth councils, corresponding to the districts and independent cities . Its member organizations reach more than two thirds of all children and young people in Bavaria with their offers.

The divisions of the Bavarian Youth Ring are not legally independent, but dependent on the Bavarian Youth Ring. In their decision-making and their actions, however, they are largely independent; the relevant local authorities are responsible for their financing. The plenary assemblies of the branches at all levels consist of delegates from the member associations active in the respective area, at the district and state level there are also delegates from the lower youth ring levels.

The youth ring elects a board of directors from its general assembly and maintains an office with full-time staff to fulfill its tasks, which is led by the president at the state level or by the respective chairman at the district, district or city level.

Facilities

The Bavarian Youth Ring is the sponsor of institutions for youth work with Bavaria-wide importance. In Gauting he runs the Institute for Youth Work, which offers advanced training courses for employees in youth work. Since 1997 he has been the sponsor of the coordination center for the German-Czech youth exchange tandem in Regensburg. Since 2012, the Bavarian Youth Ring has supported the state coordination for schools without racism . The Bavarian State Coordination Office Against Right-Wing Extremism (LKS) is also part of the Bavarian Youth Association.
