Youth Migration Service
The youth migration services ( JMD ) support young people with a migration background between the ages of 12 and 27 with individual offers and professional support during their integration process in Germany. They are funded by the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ).
Support structures
The youth migration services are divided into the following groups:
- Workers' Welfare (AWO)
- Federal Association of Protestant Youth Social Work
- Federal Association for Catholic Youth Social Work
- Working group of the independent support group
- international Union
- German Red Cross (DRK)
- The Paritätische Gesamtverband
Throughout Germany there are around 430 youth migration services (formerly youth community organizations) that support young people with a migration background with integration-related problems.
Conception of the work of the youth migration services
Since 2004, these facilities have been further developed under the new name "Youth Migration Services" and adapted to the requirements of a modern integration policy. The working principles and framework concepts developed in cooperation with the agencies became the basis for the approval notification for the youth migration services.
Individual support
With the entry into force of the Immigration Act in 2005, the work of the youth migration services changed again, since since then the youth migration services have been responsible for accompanying young newcomers before, during and after the integration courses on the basis of the immigration law.
In order to improve the chances of integration, the focus of integration work in accordance with the principles for the implementation and further development of program 18 in the Federal Children's and Youth Plan (KJP) "Integration of young people with a migration background" from January 1, 2005 is primarily on individual support for those no longer required to attend school young new immigrants through case management .
An individual support plan is developed with the young people, tailored local offers are recommended to them and, if necessary, they are referred to employment agencies or working groups according to SGB II. The corresponding "Joint recommendations for action by the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth and the Federal Ministry for Labor and Social Affairs with regard to the interfaces and the distribution of tasks between the youth migration services and the service providers according to SGB II / III" are posted on the BMFSFJ website.
