THE PROBLEM
Lower-income students, even those who perform at a high level, have considerably less access to engaging and career-enhancing internships.
THE SOLUTION
Through our professional network, All The Dots Connect will build a bridge between this underserved group of hard-working scholars and the more desirable youth employment opportunities.
By offering these students internships in non-traditional fields where they can learn from exceptional people, our hope is to expose them to enriching work environments early on and, in turn, help them to lead their best lives.
Kids Like Us, has developed a relationship with prestigious college-access program Teak Fellowship and has made progress with short-list of strong companies and organizations to begin the process of securing internships for their students:
Lincoln Center
Tribeca Film Festival
NexTech A|R
Penguin | Random House
Weight Watchers
ESRA Realty
Kids Like Us is looking for donations to build out organizational infrastructure, develop online and social tools and be able to supply stipends in situations where organizations have great opportunities but little budget to support paid internships.
