Corporate Sponsorships
YIC offers its corporate partners a unique opportunity to engage on a local level while helping individuals with disabilities receive career skills training, employment services and internships with a goal of transitioning into competitive integrated employment.
We will work with you to choose a sponsorship package that will help you reach your cause marketing and philanthropic goals, while promoting a positive corporate image, building employee morale and engaging consumers in a cause that helps to combat a national crisis; the high rate of unemployment among individuals with disabilities.
In turn, our corporate partners enable YIC to enhance lives today and reach employment goals tomorrow. We do this through a comprehensive career skills training and employment services program that educates and supports individuals with disabilities, helping them to obtain real-world experience within the entertainment industry that will aid them in securing competitive integrated employment.
