"Job Action Project"

As of the end of July, the project had 10 young participants, meaning five places were available. In total, we said goodbye to five participants in July. We had to end the program for three participants due to illness and current inability to work, one participant due to relocation, and one participant due to starting an apprenticeship.

We were able to welcome two new participants this month.

Craft activities at the St. Elisabeth Kindergarten (Eisenberg)

For the outdoor area, we finished the seating circle made of logs for the children and teachers and set it up in the kindergarten.

Mathilde Hitzfeld School (Kirchheimbolanden)
Two garden sheds and two playground structures were repaired in the schoolyard. The garden sheds received new seating along the interior walls. New beams were installed on the veranda, damaged fence slats were replaced, and the veranda received new floorboards. The participants also built a new staircase for the sheds. For the repairs, the beams, slats, and boards were measured, cut to size, and prepared in the woodworking shop. The school plans to paint the garden sheds together with the students. Furthermore, new tires were buried in the ground under the seesaw's seats, and the swing received a new crossbeam. The team then spread fresh sand around the playground equipment.

Oberwiesen Kindergarten
The entire sand in the outdoor area was replaced. After the participants disposed of the old sand, they removed the old edging. Tree trunks were set into the ground to form the new edging. The participants then spread the new sand. The playground equipment was covered with new bark mulch for fall protection.

Social Pedagogical Support

As part of the social pedagogical support, we conducted the scheduled final interviews with the departing participants and the first support plan meeting with the new participants. Individual case consultations with participants, tailored to their needs and conducted in cooperation with the youth welfare office, support staff, and other network partners, were also part of the support.

Newsletter June `26

"Job Action Project"

As of the end of June, the project had 14 young participants; therefore, one place is available. We were able to welcome three new participants to our team, while one participant was removed due to lack of participation, in consultation with the Job Center.

Despite the persistent summer heat, the participants continued to work diligently and with great motivation on the project.

Craft activities at St. Elisabeth Kindergarten (Eisenberg)

The metal railing of the outdoor shelter was sanded by hand with coarse sandpaper and then painted gray twice.

For the outdoor area, we made a seating circle out of logs for the children and teachers. The logs were cut to seat height, peeled, and sanded with an orbital sander.

Georg von Neumayer School (Kirchheimbolanden)

As a safety measure on a steep section, a fence was erected to prevent accidents. The school ordered the safety fence for this purpose. The participants drilled and screwed the support posts into the frame. Then the fence panels were attached.

Work in the Erdekaut Landscape Conservation Area (Eisenberg)

On the steps of the rear entrance, the washed-up soil was removed and the steps were filled with gravel. We also installed a new wooden railing along the edge of the stairs. This required setting the posts in concrete and bolting the handrail in place.

Furthermore, a new sheep pen was built and installed.

Donnersberg Child Protection Association (Eisenberg)

Participants crafted benches for the Child Protection Association in the woodworking shop. For this, tree trunks were peeled and cut to size. The individual parts were then assembled and delivered. A gravel bed had to be laid before the benches were installed to allow for drainage.

Social and Educational Support

In addition to the practical tasks, another focus was on social and educational support. Regular individual and group meetings were held to support personal development goals. Furthermore, individual application documents were created and successfully submitted together. Case-specific consultations and discussions were also held with psychologists, the youth welfare office, and supervisors of youth residential groups.

Newsletter May `26

"Job Action Project"

As of the cut-off date at the end of May, the project recorded a total of twelve young participants; thus, three places are still available. Fortunately, one participant was able to be reintegrated into the program after a break.

Manual Work at St. Elisabeth Kindergarten (Eisenberg)
In the kindergarten’s outdoor area, the agenda focused on upgrading the shelter. The work began with meticulous preparation: the brick wall was thoroughly primed using a masonry brush and subsequently professionally repainted in two coats using facade paint. Concurrently, the participants de-rusted the iron railing, which was then coated twice with varnish. The adjacent doors were also given a fresh new look: following sanding, they were primed and painted using a specialized wood paint.

Installation of the Fire Truck at the Eichenwäldchen Kindergarten (Kriegsfeld)
Following successful inspection and approval by the TÜV, the fire truck has now taken up its permanent place at the kindergarten. The preparatory work involved excavating the topsoil and laying a layer of gravel as frost protection, upon which the vehicle was securely positioned.

Work in the Erdekaut Eisenberg Landscape Protection Area
A new area of ​​work opened up for the team in the Erdekaut Landscape Protection Area. To ensure the young participants were optimally familiarized with the local conditions and surroundings before commencing work, a joint on-site inspection took place on May 26, 2026.

In the first step of the project, a new barrier was erected along one side of the stairwell. To ensure stability, posts were firmly embedded in concrete using quick-setting mix. Additionally, the participants constructed a frame for the old mining carts in order to reduce their internal volume. In the future, this space will be filled with clay and displayed as an exhibit at the mining museum.

Socio-educational Support
In addition to the practical craft-related tasks, a further key focus lay on socio-educational support. Regular individual and group sessions were held to facilitate the pursuit of personal development goals. Furthermore, individual job application materials were jointly prepared and successfully submitted.

Report on the "JobAction" Project (with Open Spots)

Support on the Path to a Professional Future: Open Spots Available in the “Job Action” Project

The Donnersbergkreis Non-Profit Employment and Qualification Company (GBQ) fosters and supports young and unemployed individuals on their path to employment, as well as in achieving personal and social stability. The "Job Action" project targets young people under the age of 30 who are currently not enrolled in school, vocational training, or employed. For this group, "Job Action" offers the opportunity to acquire personal and practical skills, thereby preparing themselves for the job or apprenticeship market. There are currently vacancies available within the project.

Judith Schappert, Managing Director of the GBQ, encourages young job seekers and their families: “Please feel free to reach out to us—even if you simply have questions, or if you are wondering whether ‘Job Action’ might be the right fit for you or your children. Life sometimes places obstacles in the path of young people, too, but support and opportunities are available. We both encourage and challenge our participants, while simultaneously working on meaningful projects—for instance, for schools and kindergartens within the Donnersberg district. These projects include, among other things, nature-based initiatives for outdoor grounds, or the production of wooden toys and children’s loungers. In addition, we offer training courses, ‘soft skills’ coaching, and team-building events; we also foster individualized career planning, assist with career orientation, and provide job application training.”

The GBQ Workshop is located in Marnheim. Anyone interested in "Job Action" may get in touch via email (This email address is being protected from spambots.
