For Businesses
Join the PENCIL community of nearly 10,000 individuals who have participated in one of New York City’s most enduring and prestigious opportunities to support public education. Traditionally an in-person opportunity to spend a day in a public school, in 2020, PENCIL hosted unique webinars and virtual experiences for corporate leaders to gain insight into NYC public schools. We invite you to express your interest in future events to learn from principals and interact with students as they share their school’s experiences. Past participants have included Academy Award-winner Frances McDormand, Former Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, Jerry Seinfeld, and ABC anchor and Emmy winner Juju Chang, as well as hundreds of CEOs and senior leaders from companies like A+E Networks, Facebook, Google, Hearst, Infosys, JP Morgan Chase, NBC Universal, Empire BlueCross BlueShield, Viacom, and many more.

For Schools
Since 1995 more than 1,000 New York City public schools have opened their doors to visiting Principals For A Day. In 2020, educators and executives connected virtually to share insight and knowledge in lieu of in-person visits. Participants are often interested in learning about the ins and outs of daily school leadership or interacting directly with students and teachers. As a school leader, you can participate in a variety of PENCIL’s programs that can highlight your school’s strengths and give your students an opportunity to learn about a new industry or career path. Many of PENCIL’s ongoing school/business partnerships began with a Principal For A Day® experience and we hope our upcoming events can launch many more long standing relationships!
