Family-friendliness in Krefeld is based on a closely integrated network of prevention, neighborhood outreach, children’s rights, and civic engagement.
The Coordination Office for Community Work brings together various areas of responsibility and develops tailored support structures for children, youth, and families. This work is based on the municipal poverty report, prevention chains, and social neighborhood management in twelve neighborhoods. Families are reached where they live: through outreach counseling, neighborhood-based support services, community gathering places, and low-threshold access to education, participation, and social services.
At the same time, Krefeld strengthens the rights and opportunities for participation of children and youth and promotes social cohesion through strong networks.
