Where We Work

Global Program Themes

The King’s Trust USA’s mission is to help young people transform their lives by developing the confidence and skills to live, learn, and earn. As such, we work on four inter-connected themes.

Education

Our programs provide alternative approaches to learning, focusing on personal development and transferable employability skills. They are designed to build confidence and self-esteem, and to foster vital soft skills such as communication and teamwork.

Programs range from school-based clubs to online business simulation games and intensive pre‑employment courses.

Employment

We work with partners and employers to enable young people to develop skills and access opportunities that will lead to sustainable work.

These include employer-led programs tailored to specific sectors, offering a combination of preparatory learning and on‑the‑job training. We also offer mentoring services, recruitment fairs and support with CV and interview techniques.

Enterprise

Our enterprise programs give young people and military veterans the chance to explore business management and equip budding entrepreneurs with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed.

Business mentors support trainees to test their ideas and are on hand throughout the initial launch stages and beyond.

Environment

Many programs focus on preparing young people to enter and flourish in green trades, in sectors ranging from energy to forestry.

In some countries, we also deliver projects that focus explicitly on improving both urban and natural environments, raising awareness of sustainable land practices and championing traditional design and construction skills.
