brighter futures
BURLINGTON, N.J., April 10,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Burlington Stores,
Inc., a national discount retailer offering low prices every day on
brand name merchandise for the entire family and home, is excited
to launch its inaugural in-store customer fundraising campaign with
global nonprofit YouthBuild USA. As part of Burlington's new holistic community giving
approach focused on three strategic pillars — impacting its local
store communities, adding value, and empowering people to live
better lives and build better futures — customers have the
opportunity to round up their purchase to benefit YouthBuild
USA.
Funds raised will drive innovation in
education, workforce readiness and leadership development for
opportunity youth.
In YouthBuild programs, opportunity youth — young adults between
the ages of 16 and 24 who are neither in school nor employed —
pursue their education, prepare for future careers and grow into
community leaders, building brighter futures for themselves and
their neighborhoods. YouthBuild USA is the nonprofit support center for a
network of more than 275 local YouthBuild programs across
the United States and around the
world. Funds raised will advance YouthBuild USA's efforts to strengthen its programming;
identify additional opportunities for impact at the local level,
including through expanded career pathways; and drive innovation in
education, workforce readiness, and leadership development for
opportunity youth.
"Our new partnership with YouthBuild USA aligns nicely with our renewed community
giving approach," said Michael
O'Sullivan, CEO, Burlington Stores. "As we continue to
evolve and grow as a discount retailer best known for extraordinary
values on brand name merchandise, teaming up with this strategic
charitable partner will allow us to add value by empowering young
people in our local communities nationwide to live better lives and
build better futures."
"Many young people come to YouthBuild looking for a second
chance — others come looking for their very first real chance at
professional and personal success. No matter where they are in
their journey, we stand with them as they build the skills and
resources they need to thrive," said John
Valverde, president and CEO, YouthBuild USA. "We are so grateful for our partnership
with Burlington, which will help
strengthen YouthBuild USA and our
entire network as we meet these young people with knowledge, tools,
opportunities and love."
