Entschlossen OFFEN is the public-facing campaign of Interessenvertretung Offene Arbeit (IVOA), an advocacy group representing open work with children, young people and families in Hamburg. The organisation works to defend the value of open child and youth services and to protect children’s and young people’s rights, particularly amid proposed cuts to social and youth services. Its website shares news, press releases, statements and campaign updates, including information about demonstrations, public events and the nationwide Day of Open Child and Youth Work.

IVOA also publishes professional perspectives on topics such as street social work, funding and gaps in support. Alongside its advocacy, the site offers practical information: directories and a map of services in Hamburg, including family support, youth social work, and open child and youth work. Visitors can access campaign materials and texts through a linked Padlet, find contact information, and browse resources from related organisations and initiatives.

Through public communications, events and information-sharing, Entschlossen OFFEN connects practitioners, organisations and interested communities around sustaining accessible services for children, young people and families
