Opportunity for all

Investing in potential. Elevating our partners.
Opening new possibilities.

By building pathways to success for partners (employees), opportunity youth, veterans and their families - we create opportunity for our collective success. It’s simple: when we do the right thing for our partners and the people they serve - we do the right thing for our business.

WE’RE ON THE WAY TO

Opportunity Youth

Nearly 6 million young Americans are disengaged from school and work. To address this we need to tap into the leadership, creativity and fortitude of businesses, working with community to create new pathways to education and employment.

By supporting Opportunity Youth, we believe we can offer these young people a chance to dream big and reach their aspirations. Starbucks has committed to hiring at least 10,000 Opportunity Youth over the next three years and is working with other like-minded companies to collectively engage at least 100,000 Opportunity Youth by 2018.

College Achievement

Empowering our current and future partners (employees) to pursue pathways to a prosperous and sustainable future is the heart of our mission and how we operate as a purpose-driven for-profit company.

Starbucks College Achievement Plan is available to more than 140,000 eligible full-time and part time Starbucks partners in the U.S. offering 100% tuition reimbursement as they work to earn their bachelor’s degrees, as well as guidance from a personal enrollment coach.

Commitment to Veterans

Veterans and military spouses have not only made some of the biggest sacrifices to protect and serve our country and its citizens, but they also possess skill sets, leadership qualities and relevant experience that can benefit the business world and our communities.
