editKinderHelden is a non-profit organization that focuses on the individual support of children with challenging starting conditions. The core offering of the organization consists of high-quality 1:1 mentoring. Volunteer mentors meet weekly with elementary school children to support them in their academic learning, leisure activities, and personal development. These tandems provide comprehensive guidance that goes beyond mere tutoring and focuses on reading, math, learning and working behavior, as well as self-confidence[1][3][5].

The organization is committed to ensuring that children with challenging starting conditions are supported early and purposefully to improve their chances of a successful academic and professional career. The values of KinderHelden are based on social interaction, relationship building, and providing positive role models and encouragers for the children[1][3][4].

The organization works closely with schools and local partners to ensure intensive and reliable support. Through strategic partnerships, such as with the Swiss Life Foundation, KinderHelden continuously expands its locations and supports more children in various regions of Germany[3][5].
The volunteer mentors are carefully selected, prepared, and professionally trained and supported during their activities. This ensures a high quality of the mentoring projects and guarantees that the children are effectively and sustainably supported.
