    ArbeiterKind.de – The non-profit organization for everyone who is the first in their family to study

    The vision of ArbeiterKind.de is that every child from a non-academic family with suitable qualifications in Germany has the chance to advance in education. That's why the organization encourages students to take up studies and supports them on the way to completing their studies and starting their careers. WorkerKind.de would like to use a low-threshold, needs-oriented and comprehensive advisory network to ensure that the proportion of non-academic children at universities increases and the proportion of dropouts is reduced. Nationwide, 6,000 volunteers are involved in 80 local groups, supported by twelve federal state offices and the office in Berlin. What is innovative at ArbeiterKind.de is the peer-to-peer approach: the volunteers are mostly first-generation students themselves and encourage people through their own example.

    WorkerKind.de—Germany's largest community for first generations university students

    ArbeiterKind.de’s vision is that every suitably qualified child from a non-academic family should have the opportunity for educational advancement. WorkerKind.de envisions a Germany where more children from non-academic families attend university and fewer of them drop out before completing their degree. As such, the organization has three main objectives: to encourage students to pursue a degree; to support them as they complete it; and to advise them as they enter the workforce. To do so, ArbeiterKind.de uses an extensive, accessible, and demand-oriented counseling network. Throughout Germany, almost 6,000 volunteers participate in 80 local groups. What is innovative at ArbeiterKind.de is the peer-to-peer approach: The volunteers—mostly students themselves who also hail from non-academic families—encourage other potential students through their own example.

    Für alle, die als Erste in ihrer Familie studieren.

    ArbeiterKind.de – Die gemeinnützige Organisation für alle, die als Erste in ihrer Familie studieren

    Die Vision von ArbeiterKind.de ist, dass in Deutschland jedes Kind aus einer nicht-akademischen Familie mit geeigneter Qualifikation die Chance auf einen Bildungsaufstieg hat. Deshalb ermutigt die Organisation Schülerinnen und Schüler, ein Studium aufzunehmen und unterstützt sie auf dem Weg zum Studienabschluss und Berufseinstieg. ArbeiterKind.de möchte durch ein niedrigschwelliges, bedarfsorientiertes und flächendeckendes Beratungsnetzwerk erreichen, dass die Quote der Nicht-Akademikerkinder an Hochschulen steigt und die Quote der Studienabbrecher verringert wird. Bundesweit engagieren sich 6.000 Ehrenamtliche in 80 lokalen Gruppen, unterstützt von zwölf Bundeslandbüros und der Geschäftsstelle in Berlin. Innovativ bei ArbeiterKind.de ist der peer-to-peer-Ansatz: Die Ehrenamtlichen sind zum größten Teil selbst Studierende der ersten Generation und ermutigen durch das eigene Beispiel.
