Hilton Partners with Big Brothers Big Sisters to Open Doors of Opportunity Across America<\/b><\/p>\n

Partnership offers immersive career exploration and mentorship experiences in hotels across six U.S. cities<\/i><\/p>\n

Hilton\u2019s largest\u2011ever charitable Points donation of 250 Million Hilton Honors Points will create transformative travel experiences for youth<\/i><\/p>\n

MCLEAN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Hilton<\/a> has long believed travel can do more than take someone somewhere new: it can expand perspectives, build confidence and open doors to new experiences, opportunities and connections. For many young people, a first trip or new travel experience can change not only how they see the world, but how they see themselves in it. To help create more of those possibilities, Hilton and the Hilton Global Foundation<\/a> today announced a new nationwide partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA)<\/a> designed to provide young people access to mentorship, exposure to career paths in hospitality and transformative travel experiences.<\/p>\n

\"Hilton<\/p>\n

Hilton and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America launch a partnership across select U.S. properties, including Signia by Hilton Atlanta Georgia World Congress Center and DoubleTree by Hilton Grand Hotel Biscayne Bay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nThe partnership will include immersive career exploration and mentorship experiences for Big Brothers Big Sisters\u2019 youth participants, or Littles, across Hilton properties in the U.S. In addition, Hilton will be donating its largest-ever charitable Points donation: 250 million Hilton Honors Points to BBBSA. Grounded in the belief that opportunity expands what\u2019s possible, the donation is equivalent to more than 3,000 standard room nights and will go towards creating transformative travel experiences for Big Brothers Big Sisters\u2019 Littles and their families across the country \u2013 giving them opportunities to visit iconic Hilton properties, experience new places, gain new perspectives and imagine new possibilities.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAt Hilton, we know hospitality is a powerful engine for opportunity; a first step on the career ladder helps open doors to meaningful careers, economic mobility and life-changing success,\u201d said Katherine Lugar, executive vice president, corporate affairs, Hilton and president, Hilton Global Foundation. \u201cThrough this partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, our team members will help young people see what\u2019s possible through hospitality \u2013 connecting them with mentors, real-world career exposure and the tools and travel experiences to build confidence and strengthen their skills \u2013 inspiring and expanding their horizons along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Closing the Opportunity Gap<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAn estimated 4.3 million young people<\/a> ages 16-24 in the United States are neither in school nor working*, representing an opportunity gap that can limit their potential and future success. Through this partnership, Hilton and BBBSA aim to help close that gap by combining the power of mentorship with Hilton\u2019s Travel with Purpose<\/a> commitment to expand access to career growth opportunities. Over the next year, the partnership will create more than 10,000 mentoring moments across six U.S. markets, helping young people build confidence, see new possibilities and imagine opportunities they may not have thought possible. The announcement marks the beginning of a scalable model designed to expand nationwide and deepen impact for young people and communities over time.<\/p>\n

\nBeginning in the 2026\u20132027 school year, Big Brothers Big Sisters\u2019 participants ages 16-25 will engage in a structured development experience across Hilton properties and corporate locations designed to build mentorship relationships, strengthen professional skills and provide immersive career exposure. Littles from local middle and high schools will be paired with Hilton team members within six markets in the United States, including Anaheim, Calif.; Atlanta, Ga.; Dallas, Texas; Columbus, Ohio; Miami, Fla.; and Washington, D.C. to participate in:<\/p>\n
