On May 27, 2025, over 200 of our supporters, partners, and sponsors came together at the stunning Tribeca Rooftop in New York City for the annual Hire Purpose Benefit.

The evening celebrated EFE’s mission to create economic opportunity for youth across the Middle East and North Africa. Against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline, guests heard powerful stories from Issam and Deema, EFE graduates who traveled from Morocco and Jordan to share their journeys, took part in a lively auction, and engaged in meaningful conversations about the transformative power of dignified work.

This year’s benefit raised vital funds to support EFE’s programs, helping thousands of young people across the region gain the skills, networks, and confidence they need to succeed.

Thank you to our incredible community of supporters for making this night so impactful. The 2025 Hire Purpose Benefit was more than a fundraiser, it was a celebration of purpose, possibility, and the power of coming together to build a better future.

Special thanks to our Opportunity Creator Sponsors Moelis and NewsCorp.
