Support our mission

The image illustrates COOP's mission to bridge the social capital and wage gap for a diverse group of underemployed first-generation college graduates through corporate partnerships and collaboration.

COOP's corporate partners play a crucial role in helping COOP close the social capital and wage gap for underemployed and underrepresented college graduates.

The support we receive from our funders and partners combined with the work and commitment of our staff, have empowered us to help over 5,000 underemployed, first-generation college graduates gain the skills and network they need for the careers they deserve.

We are on a mission to serve 10,000 alumni by 2025 and look to corporate sponsors to help us achieve our goal.

Why give to COOP?

Make an impact

Your investment contributes to positive outcomes for our Fellows.

Within 12 months of program completion, four-in-five COOP alumni are fully employed in their intended field earning an average of $50,000 per year.

Around 80% of alumni remain fully employed 2-5 years after COOP — and upwardly mobile: our earliest alumni earn a median of $75,000 at the five-year mark. 

Help us scale and grow

COOP’s program is free for participants.

We admit 1000+ fellows nationwide each cohort (one each in spring and fall) and look to expand our reach every year.

Our partners play an important role in our mission of overcoming underemployment.
