Cornick, Garber, & Sandler LLP Makes an Impression through Big Brothers Big Sisters Workplace Mentoring
Members of the staff of Cornick, Garber, & Sandler LLP participated in the Big Brothers Big Sister of New York City Workplace Mentoring Program. The Workplace Mentoring Program, a collaborative effort between schools, corporations and BBBS of NYC, introduces students to the world of business through one-to-one relationships. Teenagers in the program are brought to New York City companies where they meet with a Big Brother or Big Sister.
Cornick has received letters from the student participants of the program expressing thanks for allowing employees to take part in the program. One of the students stated in a letter to partner Robert Reitman that he learned to be more tolerant of people with different opinions and proper work etiquette. He also stated that by participating in the program he has become more motivated in his studies.
By bringing students on-site, not only do youngsters bond with an adult volunteer, but they also learn they can make it in the business world. As a result, 91% of students completing the program want to go on to college, 87% report an improvement in school, and 88% believe they can pursue a business career. In addition, 89% of the adult volunteers reported an increase in self-esteem and 86% felt their work life improved.
