This Brief is the third in the Pathways to Progress series. In this brief, we describe how the grantees scaled their program models to enhance their reach.
In 2014, the Citi Foundation launched Pathways to Progress, a three-year, $50 million initiative in the United States to help 100,000 low-income youth — ages 16 to 24 — develop the workplace skills and leadership experience necessary to compete in a 21st century economy.
To achieve its ambitious goal, the Foundation enacted a multi-tiered strategy focused primarily in ten cities: Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Newark, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
The U.S. Pathways to Progress portfolio has three intended levels of impact: Youth, Organizations, and the Field. This brief focuses on organizations. We describe how the grantees are scaling their program models to enhance their reach.
