Praha
The Prague branch of People in Need's Social and Educational Programs provides clients with counseling, field social work, educational programs, and other support services. We offer our services across the entire city of Prague. Our main office is located in Smíchov, Prague 5.
Twice a week, we hold "Walk-in hours", when anyone can come in without a prior appointment to discuss their problems and receive support throughout the day.
Main office: Vltavská 24, Prague 5 – Smíchov
Walk-in hours: Monday 9.30-17.00, Wednesday 9.30-17.00
Support for Children
A large part of our energy is dedicated to children and young people. For the youngest, we run a Preschool club that helps prepare children for a successful start in primary school.
For school-aged children who need extra help, we offer Individual tutoring, made possible by the time and energy of our volunteers, who are an integral part of our team.
For young people finishing compulsory schooling and transitioning to secondary school, we offer targeted support through the Youth Support Program (POMA) and mentoring.
For children and youth in difficult social situations who need support in coping with their circumstances, we provide services through our Low-Threshold Youth Centre (NZDM).
Our most recent service for children and youth in Prague is our Mentoring program.
Support fo Adults
The core of our work is providing support to adults facing difficult social circumstances that they are unable to overcome on their own. Through individual counseling, we offer assistance with finding housing, career guidance, help communicating with authorities, and more. We also provide debt counseling designed to help people escape debt traps.
At our office (Vltavská 24, Prague 5 – Smíchov):
We offer one-time consultations for challenging situations such as debts, housing, benefits, or employment issues.
No appointment is necessary during our walk-in hours—Mondays and Wednesdays, 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM.
These consultations are free of charge and provided as part of our registered social services.
