PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION

Working together to reach & empower more young adults across the country.

 

Partnership at a Glance

Since our partnership began in 2008, the Wellington Management Foundation and the firm have helped us expand our work and reach more young adults across the country. In 2016, Wellington was a lead investor in the growth of our Greater Boston market and the launch of our new campus at Roxbury Community College. Wellington has awarded significant grants to Year Up United, including a $1M investment in Year Up United's For An Equitable Future campaign in 2021. The firm’s IT department regularly hosts mock interview sessions and networking opportunities with Year Up United students, and many employees have volunteered as mentors to our young adults.

By partnering with Year Up United, the Wellington Management Foundation is achieving its mission to support best-in-class programs and organizations in our communities that improve education and educational opportunities for youth from historically marginalized and traditionally underserved communities.
