Cohorts are created within the FAO program through specific partnerships with organizations or groups that seek to offer additional opportunities to their interns. All FAO interns participate in the overall program of selection, orientation, candidacy, monitoring, and evaluation, but each cohort includes some special activities, such as workshops; lectures; excursions; meetings with executives; and opening and closing events.
The FAO Program includes the following partnership cohorts...
Business and Finance Cohort
FAO places students in a variety of internships at companies, including, retail, real estate, public relations, architectural firms, law firms, and investment firms, opening doors to the major industries throughout the city, and creating a pool of qualified employees.
Arts and Culture Cohort
Interns serve at a variety of cultural institutions, such as the National Museum of the American Indian and the Battery Dance Company, which serves to broaden and deepen the interns' understanding of the arts, and their awareness that the support and business of the arts can be a rewarding career.
The Priscilla Rocher Cohort
FAO interns serve in a variety of not-for-profit organizations, including family and community service organizations, humanitarian services, professional associations, and more, benefiting the participating interns, the not-for-profit organizations, and the clients they serve.
Hayden Foundation Summer Internship Program
The Hayden Foundation supports summer internships for students from the Frederick Douglass Academy, Bronx International H.S. and the School for Excellence at various sites in the city. The Foundation supports FAO in the belief that internships give young people increased self-esteem and exposure to a variety of career opportunities.
The McGraw-Hill Morris Campus High Schools Partnership
The McGraw-Hill Companies sponsors students in the Morris Campus High Schools in summer internships. Students from the Bronx-based schools have interned at Standard & Poor's and McGraw-Hill Education. FAO works year round with students in the Mentoring Program, guiding mentees through the internship application process and offering college guidance and career preparation workshops.
Urban Leadership Fellows Program
Through a partnership between Municipal Forum of New York, Inc. and FAO, the Urban Leadership Fellows Program places high school seniors in summer internships at Municipal Forum firms, such as Bear Stearns, Citigroup Global Markets, Empire State Development Corporation, Goldman Sachs, and JP MorganChase. Interns experience the day-to-day workings of marketing, trading, underwriting, issuing, and placing municipal securities.
Other cohorts are currently in development.
