Federal Administration Social Services
The federal administration's social works are registered non-profit associations that perform tasks of social, health, sporting and cultural care for federal employees and their relatives. In particular, they offer vacation options, including trips for children and young people.
History and meaning
The federal administration's social works were founded in the late 1950s and early 1960s as self-help institutions for federal employees. According to its own information, the social work of the internal administration alone has more than 22,000 members. The Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Sozialwerke looks after 190,000 members and their family members, a total of approx. 475,000 people in German and foreign federal agencies. The social welfare institutions are not only open to the named group of people, but also to non-members for a slightly higher fee. The recreation center Post Postbank Telekom eV , the holiday provider for active and former employees of Deutsche Post AG, Deutsche Postbank AG and Deutsche Telekom AG, has a similar function .
