Internationaler Bund (IB) Mitte

The Internationaler Bund (IB) is one of the largest service providers in youth, social, and educational work in Germany. Founded in 1949, the IB looks back on over 70 years of experience with people in critical life situations. With nearly 14,000 employees, the IB is a significant player in the social and educational policy sector.

The mission of the IB is to support people, regardless of their background, religion, or worldview, in leading a self-responsible life. The guiding principle "Strengthening Humanity" serves as motivation and orientation for all employees. The entrepreneurial actions of the IB are based on social commitment and the assumption of social responsibility.

• Education and Employment: The IB offers extensive employment and qualification projects to facilitate the entry or re-entry of unemployed youth and adults into the labor market. This includes training support, vocational rehabilitation, and the provision of professional qualifications[3].
• Youth and Social Work: The IB is engaged in open child and youth work, in the care of daycare centers, in youth social work, school social work, and in working with people with a migration background. Additionally, the IB operates educational specialist offices, youth migration services, and family centers[1][2].
• Language and Integration Courses: The IB offers German courses, integration courses according to the Immigration Act, and vocational language courses at various language levels to promote the integration of migrants[3].

The IB Mitte gGmbH, a non-profit subsidiary of the IB, operates in the federal states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia and employs nearly 2,500 employees. The Saxony-Anhalt North region has been integrated into a regional network of politics, institutions, associations, and business for 25 years[1].

The IB is committed to providing high-quality services to both individuals and public institutions. Through close cooperation with customers, partners, and clients, necessary and meaningful work can be realized that would otherwise not be possible due to lack of funds. The IB has received the quality seal of the European Solidarity Corps, confirming its ability to carry out projects in accordance with the principles and goals of the European Solidarity Corps[1].

The IB maintains a variety of collaborations and values diverse and flexible offerings to create a trusting atmosphere. The imparting of democratic values and engagement with social, political, and cultural issues are important foundations for the personal and professional development of participants[3].

Thus, the Internationaler Bund is a central player in the social and educational policy landscape of Germany, making a significant contribution to society through its comprehensive commitment and long-standing experience.
