Equipping young people with the tools necessary to SUCCEED
Strong economies hinge upon youth having the skills they need to secure meaningful, well-paid work. Our programs help young people succeed in jobs, entrepreneurship, and ongoing career learning. We build our programs to better connect young people with mentors, training providers, and employers.
Without jobs to provide income, purpose, and a connection to their communities, youth around the world are at risk of poverty, violence, and extremism. They are losing out—as is society.
