Migratory Services for Young Individuals in Rhein-Kreis Neuss
The Jugendmigrationsdienst (JMD), a youth migration support organisation, is dedicated to helping young immigrants aged 12 to 27 navigate the challenges of integration and everyday life in Germany [1]. One of its key initiatives, the "Throughstart in Training and Work" (Durchstarten in Ausbildung und Arbeit), offers tailored support for young migrants to successfully commence vocational training or enter the workforce.
At the helm of the JMD is Sarah Wollweber, a new director who has expressed satisfaction in her role. She cites specific success stories such as a Syrian woman securing a one-year internship and a Ukrainian young adult gaining a better chance through a mediated voluntary social year, as evidence of the initiative's impact [1].
In addition to the 'Throughstart in Training and Work' initiative, the JMD participates in nationwide projects like "Respect Coaches." These projects aim to promote respectful interaction, prevent discrimination, and support social cohesion among young migrants and their communities. Peer education, coaching, and community activities foster intercultural understanding and mutual respect [1].
The JMD offers a range of free services to young people with a migration background, regardless of their country of origin, residence status, or religious affiliation. These services include individual counselling, support for German language promotion, orientation assistance on the German labor market, and coordination with authorities and offices within the 'Throughstart in Training and Work' project [1].
However, the JMD is currently experiencing a decline in interest for work with young migrants post-Corona [1]. Despite this, the organisation continually adapts to the emerging needs of its target group. Notably, the 'Throughstart in Training and Work' project ended in June and was attached to the JMD for several years [1].
Family members or accompanying volunteers can also avail of the JMD's counselling services [1]. Sarah Wollweber took over the leadership of the JMD from Wolfgang Müller-Breuer, who retired after over twenty years in this position [1].
For those interested in getting involved, the JMD team welcomes contact [1]. The organisation remains committed to its mission of empowering young immigrants in Germany.
