An Overview of Our Parntership Process

Access a curated community of NYC educators and discover how a two-year partnership drives both business innovation and social impact.

Aligning Roles and Projects: Educators and employers collaborate to align the educator’s role with existing or new projects, ensuring both organizational priorities and meaningful educator experiences are met.
Pre-Summer Onboarding: Before the summer begins, matched educators visit the employer site to familiarize themselves with the work environment, meet the team, and explore key projects, setting the stage for a successful and rewarding internship experience.

Co-create impactful internship experiences that align with your organizational goals

Collaborative Design: Work with the matched educator to design youth projects that align with both organizational goals and the educator's professional development objectives.
Recruiting For Success: In spring, educators recruit NYC youth interns from their schools, ensuring alignment between students, educators, and employers for a cohesive summer internship experience.

Educators partner with employers to shape their own immersive learning experiences and design impactful youth internships.

Streamlined Internship Management: Educators manage the day-to-day operations of the internship, reducing challenges for employers, such as finding suitable intern tasks, managing schedules, and providing high touch support for youth interns.
Dedicated Time for Educator Development: Educators will have one student-free day each week to participate in workplace activities, contribute to projects, and develop industry skills. This allows employers to provide targeted professional development and expose educators to various roles within the organization.
Youth-Centered Program Design: Educators design and manage the summer experience for youth interns, drawing on their relationships with students, educational expertise, and employer input.

Build an alternative talent pipeline by exploring potential hiring opportunities for both educators and youth participants.

Evaluating Educator Potential: Employers evaluate the potential of hiring educators as long-term contributors to their organizations. By observing the educator's skills and impact during the program, employers can identify future collaboration or employment opportunities.
