Partners

The Global Opportunity Youth Network is a multi-stakeholder initiative, supported by Global Partners and anchored by local Community Partners who share a vision and commitment to creating place-based systems shifts for youth economic opportunity. Learn more about our partners in the sections below.

The Global Opportunity Youth Network is hosted at the Aspen Institute and is managed in partnership with the Global Partner Global Development Incubator (GDI). We are thrilled to recognize our Global Partners that continually support our mission and commitment to Opportunity Youth – Prudential Financial Inc., the Vitol Foundation, Accenture, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the Western Union Foundation, Fondation Botnar, and Catholic Relief Services. These organizations bring complementary strengths and expertise to the challenge of global youth unemployment and, collectively, share a deep commitment to supporting pathways for youth opportunity.

All GOYN communities are anchored by a local community partners who lead cross-sector collaboration, opportunity youth engagement, collection of data and research, and development of contextualized strategies and pathways for scaled youth economic opportunity impact in their community.

In addition to being informed by the experience of these partners, our approach draws on insights gathered from dozens of expert interviews and thought partners whose collective input was captured in our flagship report: A Global Opportunity: Get Youth Working (2018)
