Students are now able to submit applications for the 2012 Fellows Class of New York Needs You.
New York Needs You (NYNY) aims to level the playing field for first-generation and low-income college students in New York City. NYNY closes the opportunity gap through its intensive career development and leadership training Fellowship that enables high-potential, first-generation college students to realize their college and career aspirations.
NYNY’s intensive 2-year Fellowship program includes bi-weekly career workshops where Fellows develop relationships with more than 200 highly accomplished Mentor Coaches and engage with community and business leaders. In addition to working one-on-one with a Mentor Coach for a total of 800 hours over 2 years, Fellows also receive a $2,500 professional development grant, access to 2 summer internships at prestigious companies and organizations, free business attire, free writing and ESL support, subsidized test preparation services, and discounted laptops and tablet computers.
This program is a huge opportunity aimed at students who are the first in their families to attend college and are from low–income backgrounds.
