Grant Overview

Career Readiness for New York City Girls

New York City is a global hub of opportunity, but young women from underserved communities often face significant barriers to accessing internships, jobs, and professional development resources. This funding opportunity aims to establish comprehensive career readiness programs that empower high school girls in NYC to take the first steps towards fulfilling careers.

Many NYC students, particularly those from low-income families and communities of color, lack access to quality career guidance and mentorship. Compared to their more affluent peers, these young women are less likely to have family connections or social capital to draw upon when seeking internships and entry-level roles. Additionally, they may lack confidence in their ability to excel in interview settings or craft compelling resumes.

This funding will support organizations that provide holistic career readiness training tailored to the unique needs of NYC's diverse student population. Programs will cover essential skills like resume building, interview prep, and professional networking, while also addressing the social-emotional barriers that can hold young women back. Participants will gain hands-on experience through job shadowing and short-term internships, building a foundation for long-term career success.

By investing in the next generation of female leaders, this initiative will help address systemic inequities and open pathways to in-demand fields like technology, finance, and healthcare. Grantees will partner with local employers to create sustainable pipelines, ensuring that program graduates have ample opportunities to apply their newfound skills. With comprehensive support from application to placement, young women in NYC will be empowered to reach their full potential and transform their communities.
