BECOME AN EMPLOYER PARTNER

Our program provides employers the opportunity to build a talented, inclusive and diverse workplace. The satisfaction rate of employers who partner with us has been uniformly outstanding. Young people with learning disabilities ensure a bottom line benefit and provide a capable and committed workforce.

Research shows that individuals with disabilities consistently perform as well as or better than those without disabilities and receive positive performance ratings. Additionally, by employing young people with learning disabilities, employers derive benefits from a commitment to active corporate responsibility.

Why I Donate:

The Frechette Family Foundation knows first hand that learning disabilities are the great equalizer, affecting every segment of society. One in five people has a learning disability and the impact is lifelong. We are proud to support BroadFutures as it strives to pave a smooth pathway for young adults with learning disabilities who are preparing to enter the workforce. Through an emphasis on internships, young people from all walks of life find their place in the wider world. At the same time, companies and organizations that host BroadFutures interns find the power in diversity and inclusion. It is a unique, one of a kind program that transforms lives.
Frechette Family Foundation
The Colby family was among the first investors in BroadFutures. As a teacher and a mother of a child with learning differences, Susan knows personally how young people not only struggle in school but they also have difficulty moving into the job market. Carolyn Jeppsen and her team offer interns training in job readiness as well as monitoring their progress at the job site, which is extremely appealing to the companies and helps to alert students to issues that BroadFutures' hands on approach can address. This program helps interns succeed and provides talent for companies looking to increase their employment diversity. The results are overwhelmingly positive as seen in the success rate of their participants and growth of the program to date.
Susan & John Colby
As both parents and donors, we are have been able to see both sides of the BroadFutures value proposition. As donors, we know that 100% of our support is well invested and the outcomes are excellent. As parents, we know that BroadFutures reached our son in ways our many previous efforts did not, and launched him into newfound self-acceptance and confidence. Our family we owes an enormous debt of gratitude to BroadFutures.
Carolyn Winter & Donald Winkler
We have been a strong supporter of BroadFutures since its inception. BroadFutures has tapped into the great potential that the young people they serve offer and provides employers with new employment resources. The organization is the gold standard in training, accountability, data and mentorship.
James Burke, Chairman The Burke Foundation

Mark Dorigan, President & Partner, PN Hoffman
The Galena-Yorktown Foundation is proud to be a sponsor of BroadFutures. We believe that helping young adults achieve their highest potential is an admirable goal and one that BroadFutures deserves recognition for. In addition, BroadFutures is an important resource for the Washington, D.C. community and should be supported by all those who believe in a quality education for all. The Galena-Yorktown Foundation is dedicated to supporting the Arts, Education, and Scientific Research and Support Groups that further advance and illuminate the understanding of mental health issues.
