YEAR UP & WELLINGTON MANAGEMENT
Partnership at a Glance
Since our partnership began in 2008, the Wellington Management Foundation and the firm have helped us expand our work and reach more young adults across the country. In 2016, Wellington was a lead investor in the growth of our Greater Boston market and the launch of our new campus at Roxbury Community College. Wellington has awarded significant grants to Year Up, including a $1M investment in Year Up's For An Equitable Future campaign in 2021. The firm’s IT department regularly hosts mock interview sessions and networking opportunities with Year Up students, and many employees have volunteered as mentors to our young adults.

What Wellington Employees Say

"Year Up was instrumental in my career journey, as the program helped me develop the right mindset to step into the workplace. When I was interviewing with Wellington Management, I remember the positive reactions I received when I mentioned that I graduated from Year Up. Wellington is a company that supports personal and professional growth. I consider this partnership very important because it gives young adults from different backgrounds an opportunity to prove themselves at great companies that they might not have access to otherwise."

“As a mentor to Year Up students, I see the drive, resourcefulness and potential of young adults in the program firsthand. I support Year Up because I see the impact that results when those traits and potential are nurtured and introduced to opportunity.”
By partnering with Year Up, the Wellington Management Foundation is achieving its mission to support best-in-class programs and organizations in our communities that improve education and educational opportunities for youth from historically marginalized and traditionally underserved communities.
