Mission: Student Sponsor Partners

York City youth in underserved communities escape the cycle of
poverty and reach their highest potential.

students today. Impacting their tomorrow.
ORGANIZATIONAL LEGACY & CONTEXT
Founded by Peter Flanigan in 1986, Student Sponsor Partners
(SSP) has been providing private high school education and
one-on-one mentorship for New York City youth in underserved
communities to equip them with the academic foundation and
character development they need to realize their untapped
potential.
Thousands of students are supported by a sponsor and a mentor to
guide them through their high school years and beyond. SSP's record
of success is evidenced by the fact that more than 85 percent of
its students graduate from high school, which is a substantially
higher rate than that historically achieved by New York City public
high schools. More than 50 percent of SSP high school students
graduate from college. SSP currently supports approximately 1,200
students a year.
Based in the Wall Street District of New York City, SSP has a
current budget of approximately $10 million and has 22 budgeted
employees. SSP currently operates on a three-day or four-day hybrid
in-office virtual work schedule.
