Celebrating 10 Years of Change that Lasts

Generation is turning 10!

In 2014, we started our first pilots, followed by full launch in 2015 in India, Kenya, Mexico, Spain, and the US. Today, Generation has grown to drive improved economic mobility through programs in 17 countries. The more than 125,000 graduates from those programs have collectively earned more than $1.5 billion in life-changing salaries.

We believe in the power of employment to change lives. Thank you to the entire global Generation community – our alumni, our teams, our funders, our employers, and the many others who have made this work possible – for believing in it too. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished through our programs and our advocacy, and we look forward to even more impact in the years ahead.
