This Way ONward
This Way ONward provides underserved young people with the
skills they need to succeed in the workforce, changing lives with
first jobs. Youth have been hit disproportionately hard by the
current unemployment crisis. While 16 to 29-year-olds make up under
a quarter of the labor force, they accounted for about a third of
the rise in the unemployment rate between February and April.2
Through This Way ONward, Old Navy has provided jobs and
mentoring to 10,000 diverse youth from underserved communities,
adding more than 800 new hires to the brand just this holiday
season. With the support of customers, Old Navy has donated $1.8
million to the program thus far in 2020 and is on track to hire
20,000 youth by 2025.
“Because I have a job, because of the skills and encouragement
I’ve gotten from This Way ONward, I can see the finish line,” said
Gloire Yahve, This Way ONward alumna and current Old Navy
associate. “I know I can do it. I will not give up. This Way ONward
was my golden ticket.”
This Way ONward is part of Old Navy’s cause platform, The
Imagine Mission, with the focus to provide a better future for
future generations through the pillars of opportunity, inclusivity
and sustainability. Learn more about Old Navy’s cause work at
