The Trust for the Americas

The Trust for the Americas provides underserved populations with access to technology and digital, entrepreneurial, and soft skills training in 400 learning centers, managed by a network of 59 local partners. Upon completion of their training, individuals who take these courses have improved access to jobs, start their own businesses, or pursue further education.

The Trust was established 27 years ago to promote social and economic inclusion for vulnerable communities in the Americas through partnerships with the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Our unique alliance with the Organization of American States (OAS) allows us to have access to decision-makers within the region. This foundational partnership is the basis through which we create strong networks across member states and the private sector.

Through its employability and entrepreneurship programs, The Trust has positively impacted over 5.5 million individuals in 29 countries of the Western Hemisphere, helping them on their journey towards economic independence for themselves and their communities.
