Corporate Sponsorship
Why Sponsor?
Sponsoring a Career Academy means significantly increasing opportunities for high school students to interact with career professionals in your field, and playing a role in their path to success. Not only that, you are creating a diverse pipeline into your sector with young people who are motivated, learned, and passionate.
There are few programs in NYC that provide this kind of direct access to hands-on training and mentorship from experts like you.
If you believe in equitable access to education, and supporting young people to dream big and achieve success, sponsor an Academy today! Partnering with New Visions provides opportunities for your employees to engage in volunteerism and enhance your staff's commitment to community engagement and youth development.
