ArbeiterKind.de - Opportunities for all
About us

Social background plays a decisive role in educational advancement in Germany. Statistics show that For every 100 children from non-academic families, only 27 start university, compared to 79 for academics. A lack of role models, financial hurdles and self-doubt make access to universities more difficult.
The non-profit organization ArbeiterKind.de is committed to ensuring that every child from a non-academic family with suitable qualifications has the opportunity to study. Founded by Katja Urbatsch, herself a first-time graduate, the organization has over 6,000 volunteers who support pupils and students along the way.
Since 2008, ArbeiterKind.de has been the largest non-profit organization supporting first-generation students in Germany. We offer numerous information and mentoring opportunities, including here at HWG Ludwigshafen.
