RAOUL charity foundation
We bring together foundations, public and private partners in Russia, professionals and volunteers to support disadvantaged youth in finding and retaining jobs and making our world truly inclusive.
RAOUL foundation was founded to help teenagers raised in orphanages as well as young people with special needs to starting independent adult life.
We unite people, who believe in equal opportunities for work and personal development, and also people who are ready to create an inclusive social and business environment.
Rabota-i is RAOUL's first project that helps us to implement these ideas. It is based on the supported employment method by The European Union of Supported Employment (EUSE).
Rabota-i runs a supported employment center in Saint Petersburg that helps orphanage graduates and young people with special needs to find and retain jobs.
Based on successful experience of Rabota-i, RAOUL decided to adopt the supported employment method to other regions of Russia, so the eVP!-project* was launched.
Organizations, which support disadvantaged youths, are the partners of eVP! They use the method to provide comprehensive psychological, social, legal and job coaching support. Employers, volunteers and job coaches provide support as long as it takes to achieve a sustainable positive result.

RAOUL's partnership with Sberbank started in 2017 in St. Petersburg. Today together with East capital RAOUL and Sberbank foundation expand to the regions of Russia.
This is one of more than 650 stories of young people who got their very first job, supported by RAOUL.
Thanks to this first cooperation, 36 graduates of St. Petersburg orphanages got their first work experience. Several at Sberbank, but most are in other organizations in simple starting positions.
One of the real successes of this cooperation is a story of Ekaterina, an orphanage graduate who has her first working experience as product consultant for 12 months at Sberbank.
Ekaterina's first step was going through three trainings at RAOUL, then an interview at Sberbank and a one month long internship at the bank.
Katya says: "I have grown professionally at Sberbank, it became easier for me to look for a job, because the line about my work at Sberbank appeared on my CV."
After Sberbank, Ekaterina got a job at the well-known St. Petersburg research and production company "Techpribor". She has been working here for three years now. At first she worked with office services and now she is a specialist in the contract department.
These 36 success stories from 2017 as Ekaterina's proved to Sberbank that RAOUL indeed does open doors for orphanage graduates to jobs.
Since 2019 Sberbank together with East capital support RAOUL in bringing job coaching to the regions of Russia: Orel, Kazan, Veliky Novgorod, Vologda, Cherepovets, Surgut, and Krasnodar. In 2022 RAOUL and partners plan to launch in Moscow and Tomsk.
This is the fourth of more than 650 stories of young people who got their very first job, supported by RAOUL. For more details, contact us.

Ilya Smetanin – co-founder of RAOULs supported employment program and Ekaterina
Orphanage graduates in Russia have a great challenge when graduating from fostering institutions.
The statistics are very discouraging:
- only 2% of all orphans in Russia upon graduation enter universities
- 3% - get a job
- 28% - neither work or study.
This is because orphans are living until the age of 18 on a strict schedule. They are not deciding on their own. They become very insecure about themselves. After becoming adults orphans often either don't trust their first potential employer at all, or choose a random job opportunity that often turns out to be unreliable.
Quick earnings and daily payments is what seems like the best option for many of them. The official employment contract and companies reputation is not considered.

Sberbank, which is Russia's biggest bank and RAOUL created a partnership in 2017. Together we agreed to offer orphans in Saint Petersburg entry level jobs in banking and over 30 jobs in other companies. The job the bank could offer was product consultant. This job was one of the most challenging: available only for students or university grads, high level of PC skill and ability to cope with difficult customer situations, high speed of work, and standing up all day.
