Win4Youth

 

Win4Youth

Win4Youth is a global sports initiative organised by Adecco to raise money for youth foundations while living Adecco's core values actively. After running in 2010, cycling in 2011, and triathlon in 2012, the Win4Youth 2013 programme concentrates on achieving 500,000 km by running or walking.

All colleagues, associates and clients in more than 60 countries throughout the company are invited to organise their own running events and to participate in local or national events. For all the kilometres covered by them, Adecco Group has committed money to selected youth projects in Colombia, Italy, Thailand and Belgium.

The Win4Youth initiative will culminate in the Athens Classic Marathon in Greece. On 10 November 2013, 70 colleagues will run 42,195 km each.

We had lots of requests to be able to make a monetary donation to Win4Youth. So we’ve created a ‘Donate Now’ button. If any of you cannot take part in our running activities, you can still make a contribution! Our chosen foundations will be grateful.

Win4Youth 2013 Foundations

The following foundations in Colombia, Italy, Thailand and Belgium have been selected to receive the funds this year. All foundations have a clear focus on educating and finally integrating young people into the labour market.

Colombia: Juan Felipe Gómez Escobar Foundation

The Juan Felipe Gomez Escobar foundation ensures a future for teenage mothers. Some as young as 10 years old. They need training and support to start them off in life. Little more than children themselves, they need an income to take care of their own small children.
