Oldenburg prominently in Lower Saxony: First Youth bank opens shortly

- there are as well known already banks a quantity in Oldenburg. They all have customer switches, paid coworkers and a safe deposit. The bank scene will grow shortly by a further bank: In Oldenburg a Youth opens bank. But this bank knows neither switches, nor coworker paid. Also it does not have money, which it stores in extensive safe deposits. It must be thus a completely special bank. And like that is it.

Over the program Youth bank

A Youth bank promotes non-profit projects of young people. It acts locally like a small donation. There no young Banker sits in needle strips, but young heroes! They in an advisory manner honorary different young person, support them and can very good ideas unbureaucratically with up to 400, - euro promote.

Once if a positive promotion decision is met, then the money is requested by the federation Youth bank in Berlin and credited to the account of the respective youth project. Money thus actually stores none in the Hunte city. The amount of promotion does not have to be paid back. Of course however its correct use must be occupied later with receipts. Money that remains remaining, goes back to Berlin.

Promotion request briefly held - three substantial criteria

If an idea is submitted with the Youth bank, it must fulfill to essentially three criteria:

- Young personness - i.e. the project must be carried mainly by young people. If adults are involved, then they may the project no line function take over, can however accompany.

- Basic Law - the project idea may not offend against the Basic Law

- Non-profit character - the project must have a concrete and recognizable use for the community or other non-profit purposes.

The promotion request is consciously briefly held. The so-called project (s) only one side covers checks. One great possibility for Oldenburger young person thus of putting a mad idea times into practice.
