City Youth Com­mit­tee Karlsruhe

The Stadtju­gen­dauss­chuss e.V. Karl­sruhe (stja) is the umbrel­la orga­ni­za­tion of Karl­sruhe’s youth asso­ci­a­tions and providers of open child and youth work.

The lead­er­ship is formed by an hon­orary board, which is sup­port­ed by a man­age­ment and over 250 full-time pro­fes­sion­als. The Karl­sruhe mod­el, which is unique in Ger­many in its orga­ni­za­tion­al form, com­bines open child and youth work (facil­i­ties) with the work of the most­ly vol­un­teer-run mem­ber asso­ci­a­tions (youth associations).
