With the "Zentrum Kinder Jugend Familie", the city of Lucerne has created a central point of contact for family issues and achieved an important milestone in its family policy objectives.

The building at Kasernenplatz 3 (access in the courtyard) offers information, advice, prevention and support for children, young people and families under one roof.

The city of Lucerne pursues an active and needs-based approach to promoting children, young people and families. The Children, Youth and Family Department of the Lucerne Department of Social Affairs and Security is responsible for its implementation. The main tasks of the department are Promoting the compatibility of family and career, counseling services, leisure activities and the promotion of participation, prevention as well as a stationary offer in the Utenberg children and youth settlement.

Our principle
We build on the resources, potential and personal responsibility of children, young people and families and support them - where necessary - together with partners from the private and non-profit sectors.
