our GOAL is to PROVIDE COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH EQUAL ACCESS TO CAREER OPPORTUNITIES.

OUR MISSION

We believe that opportunity should not be limited by the zip code you grew up in, and that all talent should have equal opportunity to a successful, fulfilling, and well paid career. So three years ago, we put our heads down, partnered with the Waterside School, and started doing the work.

WHAT WE’RE DOING

We are proud to introduce the Bags Talent Initiative! We partner with K-12 schools that focus on providing the highest levels of education to students from low income backgrounds and place their alumni in college on a pathway towards a career. Students participate in a 12 month curriculum, focused on helping them discover, prepare for, and source the right internship and job opportunities, during and after college. We make sure every participating student has the training to thrive, the salary to afford it, and the mentorship support to be successful.

If you are interested in hiring an intern, supporting this work, or mentoring OUR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS, get in touch with us.

SO, HOW’S IT GOING SO FAR? YOU TELL US.

LET’S TALK WATERSIDe

The Waterside School has been our pilot partner for the last three years, as they embody our mission and helped co-create the blueprint for career success.

They are an independent Junior K-5 day school in Stamford, CT providing a rigorous academic and moral education regardless of limitations in income or circumstance. Waterside operates on the belief that talent, hard work and character should ultimately determine every child’s destiny.
As we expand our relationship with Waterside, we’re in conversations with other like-minded schools to replicate this work.

96%

of the schools last 10 graduating classes have earned admission and scholorships to leading independent schools.

93%

of Waterside graduates (‘08 - ‘13) are currently attending or have earned admission to selective colleges and universities.

68%

of students that graduated from Waterside are enrolled at colleges and universities that are ranked high competitively.

Our 12 month curriculum ALLOWS STUDENTS TO DISCOVER THEIR PASSION, HONE SKILLS, AND LEARN HOW TO SUCCEED IN A PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT.
