In 2003 hand in took over the sponsorship of the youth welfare project Work and Box Company, which reintegrates violent offenders into society and the labor market. Voss developed the method on the basis of his own experiences: both the experiences of his childhood and youth with a violent father and the early death of his two brothers as well as his experiences as an entrepreneur with apprentices and their difficulties. Further factors are his conviction that training must take place under realistic economic conditions, as well as his collaboration with the systemic family therapist Werner Makella.
