What We Do

Taking Action for More Confidence

Our commitment has one goal: supporting children and young people. Especially those facing social, emotional, or structural barriers to participation. Through our courses and projects, they discover new ways to move, try out different sports, and experience the joy of being active together. They receive attention, build social connections, and simply have fun as part of a group. Most importantly, they start to believe in themselves and their abilities. Our programs in sports, movement, and culture are designed to create quick, positive experiences of success – helping to strengthen self-esteem and confidence step by step.

Projects

Our projects are designed for long-term impact. They aim to create sustainable change and foster lasting commitment, helping to build strong local structures that support children and young people facing illness or barriers to participation.

Courses

Diverse, varied, and exciting: We currently offer more than 78 courses per week in Essen and the surrounding area. In this way, we regularly reach over 680 children from our partner organizations.

Events

Be Strong For Kids is a non-profit organization that relies exclusively on donations and grants. We regularly appeal for donations of goods and financial support through special events, often with a focus on sports. Participation and active involvement are at the heart of everything we do.
