Youth Economic Opportunity
Youth Economic Opportunities
The Citi Foundation supports efforts that help boost the employability of low-income, vulnerable young people around the world.
In particular, we seek to increase the number of youth, primarily aged 16-24, who become employed or start an income-generating business through leadership and skills training, experiential learning, and access to professional networks. Further, we believe that consistent and meaningful engagement of young people in the design and execution of programs that are intended to benefit them can help ensure that those programs are addressing their priorities and aspirations and improving their economic prospects.
Citi's mission is to enable growth and economic progress. Four guiding principles drive how we bring this mission to life in the communities we serve:
• Execute a business model that drives positive social impact
• Partner with community organizations, foster open dialogue with key stakeholders, and develop enduring solutions
• Build an inclusive workplace that harnesses the expertise and passion of our employees to make a positive impact
• Take a stand on issues that matter, helping to shape and inform solutions to systemic problems that affect our communities
