Founded in December 1945, the KJR serves as a central platform for the representation and support of children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of 6 and 27, regardless of their nationality, denomination, or social affiliation.
The main mission of the KJR is to serve as a voice and representative of youth organizations and to support their work. The KJR advocates for the interests of children, adolescents, and young adults and promotes their social, cultural, and educational development. The values of the KJR include inclusion, diversity, participation, and the promotion of young people's self-determination[1][3].
The KJR is engaged in various initiatives to achieve sustainable and long-term positive changes:
The KJR is a division of the Bavarian Youth Ring and a public law corporation. It is funded through corresponding levies and, in some cases, through membership fees from the organizations. The governing body consists of representatives from the member organizations, ensuring that the interests of youth work are represented across organizations[1][3].
The Kreisjugendring München-Stadt is a vibrant example of effective and networked youth work that supports and promotes young people in all aspects of their lives. Through its diverse offerings and initiatives, the KJR significantly contributes to the positive development and well-being of the younger generation.
