Improving Educational Outcomes for Young Men of Color
JPMorgan Chase is committed to helping disadvantaged young people gain access to the knowledge, skills and experiences they need to compete in a challenging global economy.
About the Fellowship Initiative
Too many young people face daunting odds as they attempt to navigate the challenges of high school and the prospect of college and the workplace. For young men of color, particularly those from economically distressed communities, poor educational opportunities and few positive professional role models can put high school graduation and the economic promise of a college degree out of reach.
Beginning in 2010, JPMorgan Chase launched The Fellowship Initiative (TFI) in New York City to see if the right combination of intensive academic and leadership training could help young men of color complete their high school educations prepared to excel in high quality, four-year colleges and universities. This pilot demonstrated that with a comprehensive enrichment program, these students were able to rise to the challenge, work hard and expand their own expectations of what they could achieve.
Recognizing the power of TFI to change lives, JPMorgan Chase decided to continue the program in New York, expand it to two new cities – Chicago and Los Angeles – and grow the number of young men served in each city to 40.
