Foundation Chance Jugend
That is the name of the 50th Don Bosco Foundation, which the Bamberg entrepreneur Heribert Trunk established on June 24, 2003. The aim of the initiative: So that young people's lives succeed!
In a world in which many children grow up without role models, youth unemployment is high and a lack of prospects dominates, the Chance Jugend Stiftung focuses on hope and change. Education is the essential building block for this.
“It's about helping people to help themselves”
We offer young people without a sense of direction a perspective through comprehensive education and training programs to enable them to lead a self-determined life.
Together we are shaping a better future. Let's seize the opportunities and change the world!
The driving force behind it
Heribert Trunk is a typical medium-sized entrepreneur. "Success obliges" is one of Trunk's principles. The entrepreneur contributes his experience to the benefit of society in numerous initiatives.
Young people are of particular concern to him. He not only actively uses his time and ideas for his corporate group BI-LOG Service Group GmbH in Bamberg, Upper Franconia, but also invests them in extensive social commitment.
In 2003, for example, Trunk founded the 50th Don Bosco Foundation Chance Jugend. "Our greatest opportunity lies in young people and their future."
Don Bosco
A religious community that now has more than 30,000 members worldwide appeals to Don Bosco, who died in Turin in 1888. Like Don Bosco, the community is concerned with active youth welfare that has lost none of its topicality and modernity.
