LP4Y & Hyatt - The journey so far...
This week, we hosted an incredibly uplifting and inspirational event for Life Project 4 Youth (LP4Y) at Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill .
LP4Y is an international movement of local organisations, specialising in the development of innovative solutions for the professional and social integration of excluded Youth living in extreme poverty.?
This project is close to my heart. In 2018, my wife and I became ambassadors of the charity, and helped to organise a first LP4Y gala dinner in London, from the logistics of the event to the sourcing of auction prizes.
It quickly became apparent that there were synergies between the charity and Hyatt’s global ESG programme World of Care – and in particular, Hyatt’s RiseHY programme. As a company with purpose, Hyatt has worked with community-based organisations around the world for decades to help young people rise to their full potential. With RiseHY, our hotels are making a commitment to hire 10,000 Opportunity Youth – young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are disconnected from our economy either by not working or not going to school – by 2025.?

This common goal to support Opportunity Youth around the world led to a second gala dinner in 2020 to support with another round of fundraising. In addition to this, LP4Y also received a grant from Hyatt Corporation.
Since then, the partnership has grown tremendously, with activations in Hyatt properties in the Philippines, India and Nepal.
During the event last night, we heard the testimony of Romain, one of the volunteers who spent 18 months in Jakarta living in some of the most deprived communities. It was eye-opening to hear how eager Youth are to learn new skills, enjoy a durable professional activity and provide for their loved ones. Some of the stories that he shared are testament to the resilience of Youth and the immense potential they have – I for one, cannot wait to see what the next chapter of the LP4Y-Hyatt partnership will bring!
Magnifique bravo Arnaud et merci Hyatt
