The Global Business Coalition for Education is hosting a Virtual Fair as part of our Youth Skills and Employment Accelerator program. This 90-minute event is a unique opportunity for companies and philanthropies to discover innovative nonprofits tackling the youth skills and employment gap in the U.S.
The Virtual Fair is an interactive session bringing together companies, foundations, and nonprofits all focused on one thing – helping young people across the U.S. gain the skills they need to succeed.
We will hold two sessions in 2025: on September 3rd and September 5th providing an excellent opportunity for corporate and foundation teams to connect with and contribute to inspiring youth-serving nonprofits from across the U.S.

Virtual Fair
The fair is an opportunity for business and philanthropic leaders to hear fresh ideas and solutions to the youth skills crisis, provide real-time feedback on nonprofit pitches for corporate engagement, and explore whether there is potential for future collaboration—through funding, internships, mock interviews, project/site visits, pro bono support, employee engagement or other partnership ideas.
Companies and foundations are encouraged to invite employees to participate as volunteers—sharing their professional expertise and social impact perspectives to help nonprofits refine their pitches and grow their impact.
