Youth Voices: Putting Young People at the Center of the Youth Unemployment Conversation

Organization: RTI International, Implementation IDIQ holder

The GroundTruth Project and the Global Center for Youth Employment, with support from by RTI International, the Ford Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation, launched Youth Voices - a pioneering digital initiative that seeks to tell stories of the global youth employment crisis as seen, heard, and felt by young people around the world. In March, we asked youth from Zambia to the Philippines to New Zealand, "What is your dream job? What's standing in your way?" We gathered over 400 potent stories from dozens of countries and then asked a panel of representatives from organizations such as Children International, MIT’s Poverty Action Lab, Year Up, and others to select 35 compelling entries from dozens of countries to be published in a series of articles with the Huffington Post and GroundTruth Project. Learn about our future plans and how you can become involved in this exciting initiative.
