Domains

Stichting ZERO works at the intersection of various social domains. Within these areas of work, we offer projects and programs in which young people and young adults can stay involved over the long term.

Our approach is preventive, relational and close, with attention to structure, development and perspective.

Target group

Young people and young adults who benefit from structure, proximity and perspective, and who are at risk of dropout, stagnation or isolation.

The challenge

Many young people experience a gap between their world and existing systems, and between talent and future perspective. This can lead to declining motivation, uncertainty and limited ownership.

Our approach

Stichting ZERO works preventively and long-term, building on lasting relationships and familiar places. Sport, culture and development are used as a means, in collaboration with network partners from sports, education, care and welfare.

Intended results

Our efforts are aimed at:

  • strengthening self-confidence and self-worth
  • more structure and a greater sense of responsibility
  • a more realistic future perspective
  • lasting engagement with education, work or society

Results become visible in the attitude, behavior and engagement of young people.

Collaboration partners

Stichting ZERO works together with, among others:

  • Municipality of Zwolle
  • Sport Service Zwolle
  • educational institutions
  • social organizations
  • field partners

Domains

Sport

Within the sport domain, physical activity is used as a means for structure, discipline and collaboration. Young people work on physical development, resilience and functioning within a group.

Culture

Culture offers space for creative expression, identity development and connection. Young people develop through urban culture and shared creative processes.

Care & Social Domain

Within this domain, Stichting ZERO focuses on guidance and development programs for young people with more complex support needs, with an emphasis on prevention and perspective.
