Host a PENCIL Fellow this Summer
As you likely know, I recently became Chief Program Officer of PENCIL, the leader in creating innovative and impactful models of collaboration between the business and education communities.
This year through the PENCIL Fellows program, 200 incredible high school juniors and seniors have gone through a rigorous application, screening, and 30+ hour training process in order to earn a coveted spot as an intern with strong New York City businesses and organizations.
We’ve garnered media attention from Crain's New York Business and NY1, where you can see how eager and prepared these students are for their internship. Now, school is winding down and summer is gearing up for these incredible students, and many still need internship placements this summer. In fact, after receiving such a positive response from our Business Partners last year we were able to grow the number of students impacted by this program by nearly 46%. This means that your support is more critical than ever.
I hope you will consider hosting a PENCIL Fellow this summer. Join us by sponsoring and mentoring one or more of these outstanding students at your company during a six-week internship from July 6th – August 14th. Subsidized placements are available for non-profit organizations.
For more information or to start the process of hosting a Fellow, please reach out to PENCIL Corporate Engagement Manager, Bernadette Callaghan @ 646-638-2258 or [email protected].

9 年Thanks Charlie Finlay, MPA, Alexandra Anormaliza and Oshadi Kelly for the good words! You each know how important early opportunities to experience the works if work are to high school students. That's why we're working hard the next 10 days to secure the remaining Fellows placements and match students to what for many will be their first jobs. If you are even considering becoming a business mentor, get in touch so we can talk more and make a match for each and every qualified Fellow.
So great that you're at PENCIL Gregg! Congrats!
