Youth Leader Card in Hesse (Juleica)
Performance specification
The Juleica can be obtained by anyone who works as a youth leader in extracurricular children's and youth work for a youth association belonging to the Hessischer Jugendring, for an independent youth welfare organisation recognised under § 75 of the Child and Youth Welfare Act or for a public youth welfare organisation.
Which documents are required?
An electronic passport photo. This must be attached to the online application in the specified form.
Otherwise, the online application procedure does not provide the option of attaching certificates or supporting documents in electronic form to the application. These must be made available to the independent or public organisation in an appropriate manner in the event of enquiries in accordance with the guidelines.
What are the fees?
The issuing of the Youth Leader Card serves the legal mandate to support voluntary work (§ 73 SGB VIII) and is therefore in the public interest. Therefore, no fee is charged for the issuance.
What deadlines do I have to observe?
In principle, there are no deadlines to be observed when submitting an application.
If a follow-up application is submitted, this must be made within a period of 3 years after the expiry of the card.
Legal basis
Who do I need to contact?
In Hesse, the Juleica can be applied for exclusively via an online portal(www.juleica.de) since 1 December 2009. The youth leader fills out the online form and selects the organisation for which he/she works (on a voluntary basis). The system automatically assigns the youth office responsible for issuing the Juleica.
