Employer Partners
Make an impact at your business! Join more than 500 of our employer partners in nearly 20 industry sectors across our city, offering life-changing career opportunities to New York City students.
Partnering with Futures and Options is good for your business, good for the future.
We are committed to supporting all of our employer partners in designing meaningful internships experiences, including partners with remote or hybrid work models. Check out our report, Best Practices for Supporting Youth in the New World of Work, for more recommendations on mentoring high school interns in remote environments.
I view the relationship—supervisor to intern—as extremely symbiotic. We get a fresh perspective and they get hands-on experience, build confidence, and have a project to show at the end. The world works better when you encourage people to be problem-solving and take ownership.”
— Jenn Halweil, #GoBeyond
