In 2017, the Citi Foundation announced our global Pathways to Progress commitment to invest $100 million to prepare 500,000 youth for today’s competitive job market by 2020, and we’re well on our way to fulfilling this commitment
Pathway to Progress is Citi and the Citi Foundation’s response to the persistent issue of youth unemployment globally. Led by the philanthropic efforts of the Citi Foundation, and strengthened by the active involvement of dedicated Citi volunteers, the Pathway to Progress initiative supports programs that help young people, ages 16-24, build an entrepreneurial mindset, acquire leadership, financial and workplace skills, and begin to engage in the formal economy through a first job.

The Citi Foundation is also committed to supporting research that helps advance the field of youth economic opportunities. Most recently we commissioned a survey with Ipsos to gauge the economic prospects and pursuits of youth in 45 cities across 32 countries around the world. The key findings of this survey are based on the voices of 7,000 young people. We learned about what careers they want to pursue, the availability of resources that help connect them to employment opportunities, and the obstacles that stand in their way.
