The Einhorn gGmbH shapes the future of children, adolescents, and families through individual support in Berlin and Brandenburg. With a wide range of social services, it focuses on creative, needs-based assistance and actively promotes the involvement of employees and volunteers.
Einhorn gGmbH, founded in 1999 as Einhorn e.V. by 15 independent professionals in the field of child and youth welfare in Berlin-Friedrichshain, aims to provide children, youth, and families with individual support in shaping their future. Over the years, the association evolved into a non-profit limited liability company (gGmbH) to meet tax law requirements and the complexity of service offerings.
Einhorn gGmbH offers a wide range of social services, including:
The core goal of Einhorn gGmbH is to positively shape the future of our children and thus our society. This is achieved through individual and needs-based support tailored to the different conditions and possibilities of children, youth, and families. The work of Einhorn gGmbH is based on the values of joint qualification in social work, creative and methodically reflected social work, as well as professional commitment, performance, and flexibility[1][2].
Einhorn gGmbH places great importance on the protection and safety of children and youth. This includes comprehensive guidelines for child protection and data protection, which are continuously developed. Furthermore, Einhorn gGmbH promotes the active participation of employees and volunteers in the design and development of services, supported by committees for employees since 2008[1].
The strategic management of Einhorn gGmbH is carried out by the shareholders' meeting, which consists of three independent shareholders. They appoint and commission the managing director, ensuring a clear separation between shareholders and management. The organization includes over 120 permanent employees and 130 volunteers who work throughout Berlin and Brandenburg[1].
With its dedicated and innovative approach, Einhorn gGmbH significantly contributes to the positive shaping of the future for children, youth, and families and continuously advocates for the further development of needs-based social services.
