Diakonie Schleswig-Holstein

About Diakonie Schleswig-Holstein

Under the umbrella of the Diakonisches Werk Schleswig-Holstein, approximately 30,000 employees work in over 1,700 facilities and services in Schleswig-Holstein. Additionally, many thousands of volunteers are engaged in the Diakonie. The Diakonisches Werk gives a voice to disadvantaged people in politics and the public sphere – regardless of religion, skin color, or origin. As a service provider, the umbrella organization advises its members on legal, conceptual, pedagogical, and business management issues. It negotiates state-level framework agreements, secures grants from the state, federal government, the EU, and social lotteries, and offers opportunities for initial and continuing education.
