We are proud to announce that BBH was presented with Futures and Options’ (FAO) inaugural Corporate Volunteer Engagement Award at their annual A Toast to Brighter Futures (“Toast”) event. The organization connects New York City high school students with career and skills development opportunities.
As a part of our sustainability goals, BBHcares, our employee-driven philanthropic program, supports educational organizations that foster long-term success by empowering individuals with the tools to control their finances, gain independence, and achieve economic sustainability and success. The award recognized the outstanding commitment of BBH volunteers who have hosted career panels, conducted mock interviews and resume review sessions, assisted with college essays, and more for the students involved with Futures and Options.
Jay Park, Fixed Income Research Associate, was first introduced to Futures and Options through BBHcares volunteer engagement emails and was inspired to join the FAO Junior Board.
"Having worked at the career development center of my alma mater, I had always enjoyed helping younger members within my community think about their aspirations and goals. Futures & Options gave me the perfect opportunity to continue to pursue my passion of giving back. I am delighted to be part of FAO's Junior Board and look forward to developing more ways to support their amazing students."
With the help of his fellow members, Jay helped raise $62,000 in support of the Dream Big Scholarship fund, which enables the highly motivated and engaged Futures and Options students to fulfill their dreams.
