Who we are
The Workshop Club is a program of the Menedékház Foundation, dedicated to supporting young people currently or formerly in state care. Within the framework of the Workshop, we provide both community-based and individual social work.
By offering an alternative response to the shortcomings of the child protection system, we provide genuine, long-term support for highly disadvantaged youth. We work exclusively with multiply-disadvantaged young people.
What We Do
The Workshop provides a safe and supportive community space, where young people can make their own decisions, explore their abilities, and experience what it means to be seen and heard.
Through sports and collaborative activities, we teach responsibility, perseverance, and teamwork .
Alongside group programs, each participant receives personalized attention — we mentor them, provide assistance with education, employment, and everyday challenges.
Why Our Work Matters
The Workshop offers support where the system can no longer reach. We accompany the youth for years, helping them build self-confidence, accountability, and social integration .
Thanks to our supporters, we can sustain the Workshop’s community space and organize regular sports and leisure programs that create real opportunities for growth and belonging.
Results in brief
- On weekdays, an average of 6 participants attend; on weekends and during holidays, around 8.
- We organize two external programs per week, with an average of 8 participants.
- We currently mentor 16 young adults: 10 are employed (3 as bicycle couriers), 2 live in supported housing, and 3 work abroad.
- 1 participant has recently obtained a driver’s license.
Our Mission
We offer long-term presence .
We believe that every young person can start a new life, if they receive trust and genuine attention.
The Workshop provides a chance for those many have already given up on — yet we believe in them, and we see every day how a strong, supportive community can create real and lasting change.
