Our focus on the US

Projects with and within the United States play an especially important role at the Joachim Herz Foundation on account of its founder’s close ties to the country.

With its “Azubis Go USA” project, the Joachim Herz Foundtion leads the way in terms of German–American trainee exchange programs. Building on the founder’s and the Foundation’s long-standing ties to the state of Georgia, the Joachim Herz Foundation and its partners are looking for companies and nonprofit organizations from different industries in Georgia that are willing to accept an intern for a period of two months.

Our special affinity to the United States of America is, however, also reflected in many other projects that we are involved in.
