Alliance for Family
Forum for new initiatives and ideas
The family alliance is aimed at all Wolfsburgers who take on local responsibility and are committed to a family-friendly environment.
The actors have set themselves the goal of making the situation of families - from childhood to old age - the focus of political and social perception and thus further improving the family-friendly climate in the city. In concrete terms, existing services and activities are to be bundled and networked with the help of numerous partners. Offers for families are to be made more transparent and accessible to everyone.
The alliance has created a forum for new initiatives and ideas on the topic of "Family-friendly Wolfsburg" in which everyone can participate: Parents, employers, authorities, associations and providers of family support services.

Activities of the Alliance for the Family
The Wolfsburg Alliance for the Family is one of twelve winners nationwide in the "Local Alliances for the Family" initiative's ideas competition. Local alliances for the family from all over Germany applied with their project ideas on how they want to support local families in reconciling family and working life as partners. Winning the ideas competition now marks the start of a development partnership for the Wolfsburg Alliance for the Family, in which a project idea will be put into practice and an existing project will be further developed.
The concepts "Consulting Service for Companies" and "Intercultural Fathers' Office" convinced the jury of the ideas competition "Shaping Compatibility for Parents in Partnership," which was called for by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs.

The patron
"As patron of the alliance, I am committed to ensuring that families and their needs are always in the focus of politics, business, administration and society.

"Family friendliness plays a very special role, especially when it comes to housing. I am Head of Real Estate Management at Neuland and a mother of a four-year-old daughter myself. So I know first-hand what needs we as landlords have to take into account for families.
For me, the Alliance for Families is an excellent forum for jointly developing new ideas for "the family-friendly home in NEULAND's portfolio" and implementing innovations."

Claudia Kayser
Head of Management Wolfsburg, Volksbank BraWo
"The family fulfills important functions in our society. It forms a first dense social network, especially for adolescents, and offers support, protection and care for family members. We are committed to the Alliance for Families because it strengthens families and helps to ensure that they can continue to fulfill their function and thus keep our society fit for the future."
Gudrun Kneiske-Spitzer
"The Wolfsburg Alliance for Families was founded in 2009. My motivation to promote this central topic and to participate with joy is: "Not to lose anyone!" The common path is strong and this characterizes the attentive cooperation in the Wolfsburg Alliance for Families. Here, cooperation for a Wolfsburg worth living in is written in capital letters and approached with courage."
Karsten Piehl
Managing Director, Protestant Family Education Center
"I am involved in the local alliance for families because it is important to work together in networks and close cooperation with different partners in order to improve the living conditions of families in Wolfsburg at various levels!"
Roland Stöckigt
Managing Director of Volkswagen Real Estate
"I am involved in the Alliance for Families because I consider intact families to be the stable foundation of our society. As a father of two children, I believe that families should offer a safe and supportive development environment, especially for children.
For Volkswagen Immobilien, family friendliness has two dimensions: A family-friendly working environment for our employees is just as important to us as apartments and a living environment that is geared towards the needs of Wolfsburg families."
