In the location's words:

Based on an anti-fascist, anti-racist and anti-sexist claim, the AJZ Chemnitz sees itself as a free space and retreat where alternative forms of social and cultural life can be discussed, tested and realized.

As a platform, the AJZ offers groups and individuals the opportunity to organize cultural, social and political projects and events in a self-managed manner. The forum in the AJZ, in which all matters concerning the house are discussed in the broadest possible forum, is the public house plenum. The basic democratic principles of cooperation between groups and individuals are transparency, openness and equality.

The individual groups and individuals in the AJZ can independently regulate their external representation in their own name. A prior discussion in the plenum is desired. The sponsor of the Alternative Youth Center is the AJZ e.V.
