The "Lernen um zu Leben" foundation has a clear goal: to pave the way for young people between school and work to lead successful and fulfilling lives. Founded by Dirk Frintrop, the CEO of Bütema AG, the foundation offers individualised support for young people.
Encourage instead of overburden
In contrast to many other support programmes that focus on the highly gifted 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 from the greater Stuttgart area with a mentor between school and work, coaching and further education programmes and financial support," says Frintrop. This is aimed in particular at young people who lack a supportive social environment, who perhaps want to do an apprenticeship but don't know how to get a job, who lack the learning methods or a place to stay in order to learn properly.
Mentors and coaching
A central component of the support programme is the provision of mentors, coaching or further training opportunities. Or even accommodation - in other words, completely individualised. These programmes are tailored to the needs and talents of each individual and are designed to help develop key skills and unlock personal potential.
Support with a vision
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 help them get started, but also to support them in pursuing their own independent and self-determined path. Ideally, the support for individual young people should therefore last several years. In return, the foundation expects the recipients to show initiative and commitment. For example, the young people should get involved in clubs or social projects and take on responsibility.
