Corporate Partners

Become a Corporate Partner
Corporate partnerships are integral to After School Matters in two distinct ways. Corporate funds increase our ability to provide world-class opportunities to teens, and corporate volunteers create impact through engaging workshops and mentorship.

Corporate Benefits Can Include:

  • Employee engagement such as volunteer opportunities.*
  • Exposure in a variety of advertising spaces.
  • On-site recognition opportunities.
  • Invitations to ASM signature events.
  • Opportunities for executive spotlights in ASM communications.
  • Recognition on ASM social media channels.

*After School Matters’ Corporate Partners are invited to participate in workshops where employees can leverage their personal experience in the professional world through activities such as Career Panels, Resume Writing, Mock Interviews, and more! Please note that workshops take place within each ASM session when teens are enrolled in programming.

Thank you to our incredible partners!
