Across the Europe and Middle East region, 2.85 million people under the age of 25 are out of work. For more than 30 years, United Way has partnered with communities across nine countries to help change this trajectory by helping thousands of young people complete their education and build the skills and confidence to thrive in the job market. Local United Ways are mobilizing businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and governments to expand these efforts and support young people as they prepare for and enter the workforce.
