Mission Statement
Since 1995, PENCIL has been the leader in creating innovative and impactful models of collaboration between the business and education communities.

About This Cause
PENCIL believes that the business community has both a responsibility and a unique contribution to make to ensure that, regardless of background, all students reach their full potential. PENCIL sharpens the impact of those seeking to support public education by: 1. Building Capacity: PENCIL leverages business expertise and resources to help schools and students develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. 2. Investing in Collaboration: PENCIL connects businesses to schools and students, enabling those with common goals to create new solutions and promote adoption of promising practices. 3. Fostering a Thriving Network: PENCIL convenes business leaders, educators and students, helping them learn from each other and make the greatest impact by sharing their ideas, time, and resources. Business leaders in PENCIL’s network can deepen their impact by engaging in two core programs: The PENCIL School Partnership Program creates and supports partnerships between business and school leaders that leverage their collective energies to foster strong school leaders and prepare students for college and career success. PENCIL serves as a critical liaison in these partnerships, helping to recruit and match businesses with schools and providing hands-on support in the design, implementation, and evaluation of partnership activities. The PENCIL Internship Program is a competitive career readiness program for NYC high school juniors and seniors. PENCIL trains and places talented, high need students in internships in businesses throughout the city in order to provide deserving students with critical workplace experiences and skills. PENCIL provides training to both students and business volunteers to make sure that students can get the most from their internships.
