Capital One is deeply engaged in organizations across its footprint that provide opportunities for individuals to unleash their potential and thrive in a rapidly changing employment market. Since 2007, Capital One has partnered with Year Up to ensure equitable access to economic opportunity, education, and justice for all young adults—regardless of background, income, or ZIP code. The Year Up program equips motivated and deserving young adults with professional & technical training followed by a work-based experience to prepare them for meaningful, high-quality job opportunities. This partnership builds upon Capital One’s Impact Initiative, a commitment to support growth in underserved communities and advance socioeconomic mobility by closing gaps in equity and opportunity. 

Year Up’s Corporate Changemakers play a critical role in helping Year Up close the Opportunity Divide for young adults in this country. Changemakers understand that employers must think differently about who is talented to address pervasive hiring challenges that affect their businesses. These impactful companies have demonstrated their commitment to Year Up's mission through generous philanthropic contributions that help to create substantive systems change and professional opportunities for talented young adults.
