We want the many places around the world we call home to be vibrant communities where people have access to resources and opportunities to prosper. We maintain deep connections with the communities in which we operate and strive to use the full force of our business to make them healthier, thriving places to live, work and gather.
Workforce Development & Opportunity Youth
As a business that opens doors to meaningful careers for people with diverse backgrounds, we believe that education and job readiness skills are foundational to success. Through Hyatt’s global RiseHY program, we provide career opportunities for young people and help them reach their full potential. We work on a range of programs that tackle unemployment and skill gaps:
Strengthening Communities
We support communities around the world through volunteerism and charitable giving from our company, colleagues, owners and guests, as well as through the Hyatt Hotels Foundation. In addition to year-round volunteerism, our collective impact is magnified during our Global Month of Service, when Hyatt colleagues around the world give back locally. Our giving supports education, career readiness, wellbeing and environmental conservation projects.
When disasters strike in communities where we operate, we help those communities and colleagues to recover, rebuild and thrive again. We team up with the American Red Cross and Mercy Corps to respond quickly and deliver financial assistance, while internal fundraising provides additional support to colleagues when possible.
Hyatt’s headquarters and more than 20 Hyatt hotels are located in the Chicago area and we take great pride in our hometown.
Empowering Hotels to Support Community-Based Organizations
Since 2008, the Hyatt Community Grants Program has empowered Hyatt hotels and offices to identify pressing issues in their communities and support the nonprofit organizations providing meaningful local solutions. Through this program, our colleagues have the opportunity to nominate local nonprofits to receive grants to support their efforts of providing on-the-job training and employment opportunities to Opportunity Youth.
Additionally, our hotels provide in-kind support to nonprofit organizations in many ways, including room stays and donations of excess food and gently used items.
