Working in concert with our five other regions, we’re creating shared value at home and abroad. With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we’ve shared innovative global approaches for increasing youth connection and resilience in the United States through the (Re)Connecting Youth initiative. As the result of our partnership with Hilton Worldwide, access to our Passport to Success® e-content has supported their employees in US cities with critical life skills.

The United States ranks sixth among the 30 countries included in the inaugural Global Youth Wellbeing Index.
