North America
In the United States and Canada, our initiatives have empowered young change-makers, supported employee engagement, and boosted youth life skills. The recent (Re)Connecting Youth initiative drew on global lessons and drives support for holistic solutions for the millions of youth in the United States not in school or work. Through YouthActionNet®, young social leaders like Michael continue to gain the support system and funding to make social change. Global initiatives like Make a Connection also have directly impacted youth here. Our partnerships originating with many North American companies such as Hilton are creating shared value around the world.
