Gemeinnützige Elternstiftung Baden-Württemberg

The Gemeinnützige Elternstiftung Baden-Württemberg is a legally recognized foundation under civil law based in Stuttgart. It was established to promote the educational partnership between parents, daycare centers, and schools in the state. The foundation supports parent representatives through information, further training, and counseling – including seminars, telephone consultations, and publications. Other focal points include the training of intercultural parent mentors, the frEi project for the early involvement of newly arrived parents, as well as the "Self-Regulation" program in cooperation with AOK and the Accident Insurance Fund of Baden-Württemberg. Research projects in the field of education and upbringing are also supported.

The Parents' Foundation empowers parents in their role as partners in daycare centers and schools by informing, educating, and advising them. We view diversity as an opportunity and approach people in their individuality with friendliness, fairness, appreciation, and respect. We maintain a partnership-based interaction, work transparently, reliably, and responsibly, and are open to feedback and ideas.

The funding and educational programs are aimed at parent representatives and parents in Baden-Württemberg in general. This includes parent representatives and parent council chairpersons in day-care centers and schools, newly arrived parents and families with a migration background, educational professionals and teaching staff, as well as multipliers in parent support and volunteer parent mentors who act as bridges between parents and educational institutions.
