IN 1995, PENCIL was founded with the goal of raising awareness about public education by inviting civic and business leaders into New York City public schools. From those early days to our work today implementing hands-on, immersive programs that open eyes, open minds, and open doors, PENCIL realizes its mission “to connect students to success.” PENCIL makes it easy for business professionals, educators, and students to work together—in schools and the workplace. Our programs, including in-school partnerships, mentoring, internships, and immersive experiences like Principal For A Day, create targeted opportunities to make a real difference in the classroom and beyond. As an organization, we strive to provide students with access to the relationships, skills, and opportunities that support their success.
Thank you Pencil, Inc. for this meaningful recognition. I’m so proud to work with all of the great people there, and also the amazing NYC public school students.
Also, a note of thanks to the Business School of Sports and Principal Solomon, I enjoy every minute with the students and faculty at the school at the school!
My friend Juan Grullon spoke with students at The BOSS school on behalf of the Pencil Organization and really gave them great insights into networking and securing internships in sport
