Hello – nice to see you!

We are kein Abseits! e.V. – an organisation implementing leisure education programs to support active participation, educational equity and an enriching exchange in Berlin since 2011.
Our vision is a society with equal opportunity, in which everyone – regardless of their own (social) origin – can choose a successful and happy educational- and life path within the context of a sustainable development.

Our concept

Sport & Adventure

Our sport- and play activities in groups are fun and function integrative and covey competencies. Children gain in fitness and self-confidence and at the same time find new friends.

1:1-Mentoring

We connect children to positive role models and support them in opening up to new perspectives and developing their potential. They explore Berlin with their mentor 1:1 and excel in their new surroundings.

Youth engagement & Career orientation

We empower young people and support them in their first experiences in social engagement. In this way, they become role models and learn more about themselves and their strengths.

Our Motivation

Founded in 2011 by two schoolmates, kein Abseits! has developed into a big family of full-time team members, voluntary members and volunteers, which share the vision of an enriching community in a just and diverse society.

In kein Abseits! we see a calling- or as a member once put it – a life philosophy: Everyone can have a positive influence, and our children and adolescents have so much potential. We support them in making it more visible and utilising it to their advantage. We believe in the power of supportive and benevolent encounters and fun educational approaches.
