City of Amsterdam

The city of Amsterdam has great responsibilities in areas such as care, youth, and work. This includes education, health, diversity, anti-discrimination, youth unemployment, sports, the Amsterdamse Bos, poverty reduction, debt counseling, and much more.

The Social Services cluster is structured in such a way that it can optimally implement the laws in those areas. The city strives to provide excellent and unambiguous services to all Amsterdammers, including vulnerable Amsterdammers, in various phases and facets of their lives. The Social cluster is a complex domain with a wide variety of subjects and with social partners. In order to be successful in its task performance and its social task, close cooperation and involvement is necessary.
