COOP's corporate partners are key to closing the social capital and wage gap for underemployed and underrepresented college graduates.

Thanks to the support of our partners and funders, we have empowered 9,400+ first-generation graduates to build the skills, networks, and careers they deserve.

By the end of our fall 2026 cycle, we’ll reach an incredible milestone: 10,000 fellows served. We invite corporate sponsors to join us as we continue building on this impact.
