In the area of youth education, the foundation supports non-profit organizations that assist disadvantaged young people between the ages of 15 and 25, enabling them to achieve their school graduation and a professional future according to their interests and abilities. These projects help young adults overcome barriers to entering the workforce and realize their full potential[2][4].
The Hans Weisser Scholarship, conducted in cooperation with the Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft, supports young, committed individuals through stays abroad. These stays are intended to provide the scholarship holders with new impulses for their entrepreneurial endeavors and broaden their perspectives[2][4].

Courage, decisiveness, and a willingness to learn are the central values that are promoted among both project partners and scholarship holders. The foundation is committed to ensuring that its partners learn together, see mistakes as opportunities for growth, and share know-how and experiences[2][4].
