The future is not built on the day success becomes visible. It is built in the moments that come long before. The early mornings. The difficult training sessions. The setbacks that nobody sees. The decision to keep showing up, even when progress feels slow.

That is where character is shaped.

Believing in potential before others see it

At YOUNG Foundation, those moments are considered worth investing in. Because behind every successful athlete, entrepreneur or leader is an environment that believed in them before anyone else did.

That belief is what brings foundation to its new partnership with HC Klein Zwitserland Dames 1.

A partnership built on shared values

For decades, HC Klein Zwitserland has been recognised as one of the leading hockey clubs in the Netherlands, developing young players who continue to compete at the highest level. More importantly, it has created an environment where ambition, discipline and personal growth are part of everyday life.

Those values resonate deeply with the foundation’s own mission.

Creating opportunities for the next generation

YOUNG Foundation exists to create opportunities for young people through the combination of sport, entrepreneurship, mentorship and practical support. Talent alone is never enough. Young people also need guidance, access and a community that helps them unlock their full potential.

More than a partnership

The partnership with HC Klein Zwitserland Dames 1 reflects that belief.

This is not simply about supporting a team.

It is about investing in a culture that encourages young people to grow, challenge themselves and pursue excellence, on the field, in their careers and throughout life.

Building the future together

YOUNG Foundation is excited to contribute to the journey of this talented group of athletes, and to the generations of players who will follow.

Because every great future starts with someone who chooses to believe in potential.

And that is exactly what the foundation intends to do.

How the foundation chooses what to support

Every initiative YOUNG Foundation supports is reviewed carefully and responsibly. The team looks at alignment with its values, long-term potential and the broader impact on people and community.

This approach ensures that support is meaningful, sustainable and grounded in responsibility. Sport deserves more than short-term attention. It deserves partners who are willing to commit, listen and grow alongside the initiatives they support.
