October 4, 2018 (NEW YORK) – Proskauer extends a warm welcome to our 2018-2019 Adopt-a-School class. We kicked off our New York, Boston and Los Angeles Adopt-a-School programs with a speed mentoring session, giving the students a chance to interact with partners, associates and professional staff from across the Firm to discuss their career paths and interests. Our Chicago Adopt-a-School program will be back in session on October 17.

“I believe the most important part of the initiative is that it sheds sunlight on the variety of career opportunities available in just a single company,” said Lou Sorgi, a program leader in Boston. “Many of these students have never been in an office building and our programming allows them to gain some familiarity and comfort with networking and being in a professional setting.”

Adopt-a-School is Proskauer’s signature education initiative for high school students, offering workshops to promote career and college readiness. By developing mentoring relationships and building skills, we seek to motivate and inspire future leaders and educate young people to their fullest potential.
