Mission 

YouthCan! is a global initiative that supports young people, who have lost parental care or are at risk of losing it, on their journey to decent work and independent life. By mobilising employees, activating their networks and providing expertise, corporates are making a measurable impact in the lives of young people around the globe whilst efficiently working to reduce youth employment. Through YouthCan!, corporates are able to reinforce their Corporate Social Responsibility and become direct actors, contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. By using our online platform, YouthLinks, we aim to break down geographical barriers and adapt to a social distancing environment to ensure access to training, mentoring and peer networks to young people no matter their location or circumstances.
