What our partners are saying
“Our work with the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance enables us to further deliver on our purpose to care for people so they can be their best. The Alliance’s efforts closely align with RiseHY, our global program designed to pair Opportunity Youth with entry-level roles in the hospitality industry. The Alliance’s youth employment programme works with local community-based organizations to provide on-the-job training, employment opportunities and transferable skills for disadvantaged youth across the globe and helps us upskill young people with potential for our industry and beyond.”
Jessica Schultz, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility.
“We have chosen to partner with World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance through the Inclusive Futures programme in order to build on the great work that they are already doing through their youth employment programme to increase employment opportunities for youth across the world to support youth with disabilities.”
Alicia Cummins, Programme Director – Inclusion Works, Sightsavers
“The Foundation has been a proud supporter of the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance’s youth employment program for several years. Hotels play a huge role in supporting local communities and employability programs, like the Alliance’s, have the potential to reduce the inequities seen around the world. The Alliance has touched many lives and we look forward to seeing its continued progress.”
Mieka Wick, Executive Director at The J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation
