We welcome Corporate partners
Avenues for Justice welcomes corporate partners who share our belief in the Power of Second Chances.
COLLABORATE: Corporate Partners can collaborate with AFJ to develop a volunteer project that matches the expertise of their employees with the needs of our Participants. AFJ welcomes corporate partners to facilitate a “Career Day” where they talk to our Participants about their industries and career paths.
VOLUNTEER: AFJ invites corporate employees to join our network of volunteers to lead a workshop series or to make a one-time presentation in our HIRE Up Job Readiness program to help our Participants craft and develop employment, digital and financial literacy skills. We welcome corporate volunteer facilitators to assist our Participants with interview prep.
JOIN: AFJ highly recommends employees of corporate partners become Brand Ambassadors by joining our Board of Directors. AFJ is looking for board members who champion our mission, are willing to fundraise within their networks, can assist with special events and can creatively work with the AFJ Team to deepen our impact.
DONATE: By making a donation, your company will enjoy engagement opportunities and receive recognition throughout the year.
Facilitate HIRE Up Workshops
Several of our HIRE UP workshops are led by corporate volunteer facilitators who work with Avenues for Justice’s Program staff to design a single workshop or a workshop series that aligns with both the facilitator’s area of expertise and with the needs of our Participants. AFJ partners such as Island Capital Group, BlackRock City National Bank and the New York Junior League have all led financial literacy and weekly HIRE Up job readiness workshops. Goldman Sachs created and led a one-week STEM boot camp, while Slickdeals shared entrepreneurship tools with our Participants on how to develop products and helped them collectively create an online business.
Benefits of being a Corporate Sponsor include:
Acknowledgment on AFJ’s website, social media, newsletter, special events and more;
Support for AFJ participants that will provide useful tips and tools for navigating the world of work and encouragement and support to stay the course;
Connection to AFJ’s network of committed supporters from the corporate world at virtual and (when possible) in-person events, including our golf outing, annual gala, and other events; and
Meaningful employee engagement opportunities with AFJ’s participants through workshops and mentorship.
Partnership packages include access to AFJ’s signature events, both virtual and in-person, recognition as an AFJ supporter across AFJ’s platforms, and meaningful engagement opportunities with AFJ’s participants.
