Gemeinwesenverein Heerstraße Nord

The Gemeinwesenverein Heerstraße Nord e.V. is a central organization in the Staaken district of Berlin that is committed to the social and cultural development of the community.

• Family Support: The association operates several family centers, such as the Familientreffs Staaken Obstallee and Staaken Pillnitzer Weg, which are specifically tailored to the needs of families with children aged 0 to 6 years. These centers offer a variety of services, including childcare, educational programs, and social counseling[2][4].
• Education and Neighborhood: The association promotes networking and education in the neighborhood on topics such as community and sustainability. This includes creative, musical, and social projects, particularly in cooperation with local schools and daycare centers[2].
• Integration and Counseling: The association supports the integration of refugees and migrants through special counseling services and encouragement to participate in the community. This also includes mobile and socially oriented youth work[1][4].
• Health and Social Services: Various facilities and services are offered, such as inpatient and outpatient care facilities, day care for people with dementia, and youth and children's recreational facilities[1].

The main mission of the Gemeinwesenverein Heerstraße Nord e.V. is to improve the quality of life of residents in the district and to promote an inclusive, diverse community. The association advocates for social integration, education, and the well-being of all residents, regardless of their background. The values of the association include solidarity, sustainability, and the promotion of participation and equal opportunities[1][4].

The association is closely involved in various sustainability initiatives and funding programs, such as the "Social Cohesion" and "Sustainable Renewal" programs as part of the cross-departmental community initiative of the Berlin Senate. These initiatives aim to strengthen social and ecological sustainability in the district by investing in infrastructure, education, and social services. An example of this is the construction of the playground "Stars and Galaxies" in the Jonny-K.-Aktivpark, which was made possible through urban development funding[1][2].

The association collaborates with various local and urban stakeholders to ensure comprehensive neighborhood work. This includes cooperation with schools, daycare centers, religious institutions, and other social organizations. Through these networks, the association can develop and implement effective solutions for the challenges in the district[1][2].
