How Can Your Organization Support The Attic?

Sponsor Friday Night Dinner

The Attic serves a meal daily. Employee volunteer groups often raise funds (sometimes matched by their company) to donate or to pay for a special catered meal for Friday night.

Make a Corporate Matching Gift

If your organization matches donations, consider dedicating your matching gift to The Attic.

Host a Career Panel

Bring industry and employee expertise and share career journeys with Attic youth, or host a field trip for students to your office.

Provide Work Experience for Attic Youth

Does your company provide paid internships or have entry-level jobs available? Many of our youth are looking for paid work experience.

We can assist with placing youth in appropriate positions based on skills and interests and will provide youth with ongoing support as they adjust to a new job setting.
