Mission Statement

PENCIL makes it easy for business professionals, educators and students to work together--in schools and the workplace. Our hands-on 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.

Description

In 1995, PENCIL launched Principal for a Day(r), an annual event designed to raise awareness about public education by having civic and business leaders serve as visiting principals in New York City schools. Twenty years later, PENCIL is the leader in creating innovative and impactful models of collaboration between the business and education communities. PENCIL works at the intersection of school needs and business expertise to bring together the best ideas, talent, and resources across sectors to improve public school and student performance and enhance workforce pathways.

PENCIL provides volunteer opportunities for individuals within the business community - at any level - through our three main programs:

The PENCIL School Partnership Program

The PENCIL Internship Program
