The "Lernen um zu Leben" (Learning to Live) foundation has a clear goal: to pave the way for young people between school and career to lead successful and fulfilling lives. Founded by Dirk Frintrop, CEO of Bütema AG, the foundation offers individual support for young people.
Unlike many other support programs that focus on gifted individuals or people with disabilities, the "Lernen um zu Leben" foundation is aimed at those who have potential and goals but find it difficult to achieve them on their own. "We want to provide young people in the greater Stuttgart area with a mentor to support them between school and career, arrange coaching and further training opportunities, and provide financial support," says Frintrop. This is aimed in particular at young people who lack support in their social environment, who may want to do an apprenticeship but don't know how to find a place, who lack learning methods or a place to learn properly.
A central component of the support is the provision of mentors, coaching, or further training opportunities. Or even accommodation in some cases—tailored to each individual's needs. These offers are tailored precisely to the needs and talents of each individual and are designed to help develop key skills and unlock personal potential.
The "Lernen um zu Leben" foundation sees its support as a long-term investment in the future of young people. The aim is not only to give them a helping hand to get started, but also to support them in pursuing their own independent and self-determined path. Ideally, the support provided to individual young people should therefore last for several years. In return, the foundation expects its beneficiaries to show initiative and commitment. For example, young people should get involved in clubs or social projects and take on responsibility.
