NEW YORK (AP) — The Citi Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Citigroup Inc., will donate $50 million to improve youth employment opportunities in 10 large U.S. cities, the chairman of the organization told The Associated Press. The organization has partnered with the big-city mayors and nonprofits to train teens for the workforce, create summer job opportunities and encourage entrepreneurship for young adults to form their own businesses. "[...] we want to help young people gain skills so they can join the labor force," said Skyler, a former deputy mayor under Michael Bloomberg. Teenagers will develop leadership and team-building skills through volunteer and community service programs such as school revitalization projects, creating care packages for veterans and seniors, and organizing food drives. The jobs, which for many will be their first for a paycheck, include staffing summer camps, parks, cultural organizations and government offices.
