Public Prep is creating a future where all children can fulfill their vision of success. To do it, we need community partners like you and your organization. Are you in?
MAKE AN IMPACT
Our corporate partners are critical to helping Public Prep build bigger, better, and stronger pathways to success for our youth. With teamwork, we can make our shared vision a reality. There are so many ways to partner!
Your organization can make a significant impact by contributing gifts in kind. Whether it's donating essential goods, providing professional services, or offering valuable resources, your generosity helps us continue our vital work. Gifts in kind reduce our operational costs, allowing us to allocate more funds directly to our programs and services.
Your organization can play a vital role in supporting our mission by hosting an event. Whether it's a community gathering, fundraiser, awareness campaign, gift in kind give-away, a day of campus improvement projects, or a visit from a special guest speaker- your event can help us reach new heights. Hosting an event not only raises crucial funds but also spreads the word about our cause and engages the community.
Your organization can make a significant impact by sponsoring one of our programs or a program you would like to see. Would you like to see students have access to swimming classes? Do you have an interest in seeing music education thrive? Or how about a computer coding after school class, debate team, or sports team? Sponsorship provides essential funding that helps us deliver critical services to our scholars. By sponsoring a program, you directly contribute to positive change and demonstrate your commitment to our cause.
At Public Prep Network, our college and career partnerships are crucial in setting our students and alumni up for long-term success. Through career exploration, exposure, networking, professional growth, and mentorship, we equip them with the skills and connections they need to thrive. You can provide opportunities for meaningful experiences while gaining access to a pipeline of vetted and diverse talent. Together, we can create pathways to success for our students and contribute to your company's growth and innovation.
Your generosity can make a world of difference in the lives of our students. By making a donation, you directly contribute to the success and well-being of our young learners. Your support helps us provide high-quality education, innovative programs, and essential resources that empower our students to reach their full potential.
Let's find the right fit for a partnership between your company and Public Prep. Learn about more ways that your team can collaborate to propel our mission to help scholars see the possibilities for themselves, and prepare every scholar to achieve their highest level of success.

In a remarkable collaboration, Little Free Library and Scholastic partnered with us to enhance the reading experience for our students at Boys Prep Bronx. As part of the national "Power Up with Reading" initiative, our school was honored with a special 'Dog Man' Little Free Library, one of only 50 granted nationwide. This initiative, supported by the bestselling Dog Man author and illustrator Dav Pilkey, provided over 1,000 books for our young readers. The celebration included a read-aloud session, students dressed as Dog Man, and a surprise appearance by the Dog Man character himself. This partnership exemplifies the positive impact that strong community and corporate collaborations can have on our educational programs.
This fall, The Boys’ Club of New York (BCNY) launched an exciting expansion site at Public Prep’s Boys Prep Middle School in the Bronx. This partnership brings fun and engaging BCNY after-school programming to Boys Prep students at no cost, addressing the pressing need for affordable extracurricular activities in the Bronx. In addition to after-school programs, BCNY Saturdays will offer free programs open to the community later this year. Programs include the Young Men’s Group, robotics, wilderness exploration, photography, High School Access, and study hall. This collaboration ensures that our students have access to safe, positive, and enriching activities, greatly benefiting our Boys Prep community.
Founder of We Have Stories, Frederick Joseph, a two-time New York Times bestselling author and award-winning philanthropist, donated $20,000 worth of essential back-to-school items and books to Girls Prep Bronx II Elementary. Included were copies of his book "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever - The Courage to Dream" (Disney), Nike book bags, school supplies, notebooks, amongst other items . Additionally, catering from a local vendor was provided for the event and $50 gift cards were presented to parents, ensuring a comprehensive support experience for our families.
"I'm from these neighborhoods in New York, and these kids remind me of myself," Joseph shared. "I want to help provide for them some of the same things I wish people provided for me when I was that age."
