AWO Kreisverband Mannheim e.V.

About AWO Kreisverband Mannheim e.V.

From its member organization, the Arbeiterwohlfahrt has developed into a significant service provider and thus become a socially recognized institution of the welfare state. Organization and control are determined and exercised by the verifiably legitimate bodies. Acting economically is a necessary but not sufficient condition. The Arbeiterwohlfahrt operates on the basis of business management considerations, but does not judge its success solely by business results. In contrast to the principle of profit maximization, we measure our services by benefit optimization. Business management requirements and social responsibility for the individual's life situation and for the community are equally important to us. For over 90 years, the district association has been actively involved in the social life of the city of Mannheim and offers a variety of assistance services precisely tailored to the respective needs. The district association maintains 15 stationary facilities and over 30 outpatient services, advice, and support offers. The Arbeiterwohlfahrt Kreisverband Mannheim e.V. does not participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a dispute resolution body. The core competencies of the Kreisverband Mannheim e.V. include the specialist areas: Commercial Administration – Department Head: Oliver Blatz, Life in Old Age – Department Head: Manuela Wieland, Mental Health and Addiction Help – Department Head: Barbara Gerweck, Children, Youth and Family / Outpatient Services – Department Head: Marina Berton, Children, Youth and Family / Stationary and Partial Services – Department Head: Sebastian Roskosch, Work, Migration and Innovative Developments – Department Head: Stefanie Reutter. These four areas of activity are characterized by pioneering innovations. Through close observation of societal changes and critical questioning of our own service offerings, the areas of activity can respond to social changes and develop and offer tailor-made solutions. Our most valuable asset ensures this: our approximately 650 employees, including those in subsidiary companies.
