Lüneburg Youth Welfare Committee: Focus on the future of children!

The meeting of the Lüneburg District Youth Welfare Committee will take place on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. The event location is the district administration meeting room at Auf dem Michaeliskloster 4, 21335 Lüneburg. This meeting is public, so everyone interested is warmly invited to find out about the important topics in youth welfare and to ask their questions.

A central topic of the meeting is the increase in highly conflictual separation and divorce proceedings. This topic is closely related to the further development of child and youth work, which is also on the agenda. Those responsible will present the budget plans for the youth and family services as well as youth welfare and sport to ensure that the financial basis for these important areas is secured.

What's on the agenda?

The agenda is varied and begins with a residents' question time in which citizens can raise their concerns directly with the committee members. Other items on the agenda include:

• Genehmigung des Protokolls der Sitzung vom 14.08.2025
• Wahl eines stellvertretenden Vorsitzenden
• Haushaltsplan 2026 für den Fachdienst Jugend und Familie
• Haushaltsplan 2026 für den Fachdienst Jugendhilfe und Sport
• Bericht der Familiengerichtshilfe und Erziehungsberatungsstelle zu Trennungs- und Scheidungsverfahren
• Änderung der Förderrichtlinie für Zuschüsse zu Ferienfahrten
• Bericht des Landrats über wichtige Angelegenheiten
• Sachstandsbericht zur sozialräumlichen Weiterentwicklung im Landkreis Lüneburg
• Beantwortung von Anfragen
• Herstellung der Öffentlichkeit bei nichtöffentlichen Tagesordnungspunkten

Representatives of the parliamentary groups in the district council as well as advisory members of various organizations, such as Caritas and the Child Protection Association, will be present at the meeting. The youth welfare and sports department, led by Yvonne Hobro, shows how important exchange between different institutions and the public is.

The Youth Welfare Committee in numbers

The work of the Youth Welfare Committee is essential in order to focus on the concerns of young people and their families. In recent years it has become clear that the challenges families face are becoming increasingly complex. The increase in separations and divorces in particular has a direct impact on children, which makes it all the more urgent that solutions are found.

This meeting is a further step towards improving the support systems for affected families and further developing child and youth work in the Lüneburg district. For anyone who would like to find out more about the topics and decisions, additional information is available in the Lüneburg district's citizen information system.

At a time when social networks like Facebook, which had approximately 3.07 billion active users worldwide as of December 2023, are playing an increasingly larger role in people's lives, the importance of community and directional support is particularly clear. This shows how important it is to promote personal exchange and help in the local environment. The Youth Welfare Committee plays a crucial role here, because supporting young people and their families is more important than ever. More about the background and impact of social networks such as Facebook and their influence on society could also become part of the discussions in the foreseeable future.

Parents, young people and interested parties should take the opportunity to attend the meeting and have their voices heard. Together we can ensure that the young people in our community have the support and space they need to thrive.
