Futures and Options
empowers New York
City’s underserved
youth to explore
careers and guides
them to further their
education and become
productive citizens.
Ashley Brown, freshman at Brooklyn College and Futures and
Options intern at Kirkland & Ellis LLP from fall 2010 to spring 2011.

Authority of the State of New York in 2004.
We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of
discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is
no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dear Friends,
Teaming with more than 115 New York City businesses, from
multinationals to nonprofits, Futures and Options introduces teens
to the working world. Our engaged, active partners connect teens
to a wide range of work experiences–hiring our youth as interns,
hosting career-exploration field trips, and sharing insights at careerdevelopment workshops.
Why do businesses choose Futures and Options? First, they recognize a
unique opportunity to change the lives of young people. Our partners
continue the journey with us because we carefully prepare, train, and
match our students to each internship opportunity. The inspiring
result: Young people learn the skills they will need on the job and
understand the responsibilities of the world of work.
It’s our privilege to open gates for these motivated, determined
teens–and to give them opportunities to achieve their goals. And it’s a
joy to watch as they absorb the lessons of the work world, realize their
aspirations, and evolve into young adults eager to grow into productive
citizens.
We’re grateful to all who support our work: Our board of directors
and staff, our corporate, foundation and individual donors, our
business, school and community partners, and our volunteers. You
make opportunity happen for young people who did not know it was
possible.
Yet there is so much more we need to do. Each year more than 60
percent of the youth who apply to Futures and Options are turned
away. We encourage you to join us as we keep opening gates for those
who need–and deserve–the chance.
Most sincerely,
Stephen E. Hessler
Patricia S. Machir
Chairman, Board of Directors
Executive Director

INSpIRING IMpACt
Futures and Options alums have significantly stronger high school and college graduation
rates. They gain a greater understanding about the responsibilities of work through our
programs. And they’re able to find jobs quickly – with an upward income trajectory to boot.
Mario Lopez, Customer Service
Supervisor, RR Donnelley and
supervisor of Futures and
Options intern Adrian Morris
during summer 2011.
We didn’t say it; Inspire, Inc. did, in a rewarding evaluation of Futures and Options this year. Inspire consults
to local nonprofit organizations focused on youth development. As part of the study, Inspire surveyed Futures
and Options’ alumni and business partners to assess the impact of our programs.
Our business partners sounded an equally gratifying note in the evaluation. One of them singled out our
dedication to “helping cultivate students with high potential who otherwise would not have access or exposure
to such a program through their education channel.” Inspiring, indeed.

CAReeR eSSeNtIALS
For youth who have not yet reached the skill level or age for internships, Futures and Options
has created Career Essentials, a pre-internship career-readiness program. Career Essentials
gives students basic preparation for the work world by practicing and improving their
interpersonal, communication and office skills. The program also includes career exploration
activities and field trips, including invaluable visits to companies such as PwC, ColgatePalmolive Company and the Millenium Hilton Hotel.
“I’ve learned how to dress
for an interview, how to
create a resume, and even
how to answer a phone
professionally. I also learned
what kind of leader I am.”
Genesis Torres, junior
at Notre Dame School.
Participant in the high school
Career Essentials Program in
fall 2010, and assistant to the
program in spring 2011.
“After the Career Essentials Program, Genesis gained confidence and self-assurance. Her natural enthusiasm
and energy shines brightly. I know she will do well in life.”
-Stefanie Jones, Program Coordinator for the Career Essentials Program.

BRIDGe tO WORK
Young volunteers have higher self-esteem, perform better in school, build leadership skills,
and learn how to solve community problems. With that in mind, Futures and Options created
Bridge to Work, which links teens to community-service opportunities around New York City
and career exploration in the nonprofit sector. Improved teamwork, communication, and
leadership skills are the key results.
“Futures and Options
helped me in school by
getting me back on track
with schoolwork and
giving me support.”
Jose Zepeda, senior at George
Westinghouse High School.
Participant in Career Essentials
in fall 2009 and Bridge to Work
in summer 2010.
“What I enjoyed the most about Bridge to Work was seeing how well the students worked as a cohesive team
and how each student challenged themselves to experience new things.”
-Kamel Lyons, Youth Service Program Manager, New York Cares.

INteRNSHIp pROGRAM

The Futures and Options Internship Program is offered continuously throughout the year to

“I’ve learned that
communication is key in
the workplace, and that
you have to show that you
are a diligent worker. ”
Randy Garcia, freshman at Carnegie
Mellon University. Futures and
Options intern at The New York

Through our College Guidance Initiative, Futures and Options helps high school students
identify prospective colleges, navigate the financial aid and application process and
choose their college. With college guidance materials in hand, participants get one-on-one
counseling–and invaluable support from each other. Compared to the NYC population, Futures
and Options has a higher rate of students graduating not only high school, but also college.
“Futures and Options
helped me feel more
prepared for college.
The workshops gave me
really valuable insight
into college life.”
Janelle Washington,

a brighter future.”

pROFeSSIONAL ALUMNI
Many alumni tell us their choice of career was influenced by their Futures and Options
internship experience. A Futures and Options internship provides a vital link to a professional
path for teens who may have never considered long-term career plans. The skills they learn in
our programs continue providing an edge in the workplace.
“Futures and Options played
a vital role in my career path.
My internship solidified my
interest in finance and led to
my job at Deloitte.”
Steve Severin, Senior Consultant
