What We Do
We match exceptional educators with purpose-driven employers for impactful summer experiences that redefine career exploration, reimagine talent acquisition, and reshape corporate impact.
How We Work
"Not Your Typical Summer Experience"
It starts with mutually beneficial partnerships between purpose-driven employers and passionate educators.
Educators are matched with employers to design meaningful and innovative summer experiences for themselves and specially selected students.
Through a collaborative model, educators manage and facilitate summer experiences, enabling employers to contribute to youth development while focusing on their core business objectives.
Employers engage talented educators and inspiring youth, offering valuable real-world learning opportunities while exploring potential talent acquisition avenues.
Educators & NYC Youth gain valuable career exploration, industry experience, and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the organization's success.
Vision for Impact
By 2030 we are committed to cultivating a powerful ecosystem where educators and industry leaders unite to shape new talent and create meaningful career pathways.
