School Partnerships
Here at K-Rock we recognize the many ways that businesses can support New York City’s public school students and we encourage all businesses to get involved.
Whether it’s providing career awareness opportunities to students or serving as a colleague to a principal, there are a myriad of ways for you and your colleagues to connect with our City's public schools and students.
Many businesses in New York City, both large and small, have forged partnerships with hundreds of schools across the five boroughs.
To learn how you or your business can partner with a New York City public school and use your expertise, interests and resources to benefit our City’s students, please visit www.pencil.org. Remember, kids are everyone’s business.

It has been more than two decades since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Since then, more than 60 million people worldwide have become infected, including 20 million who have already died. The majority of those newly infected today—both in this country and abroad—are under the age of 25. If current trends persist, by 2020 AIDS could claim up to 100 million lives worldwide, putting it on track to be the worst epidemic in human history. Get informed, get the facts about HIV / AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. http://www.knowhivaids.org/

Suicide is the leading cause of death among gay male, lesbian, bisexual, and transsexual youth. The majority of suicide attempts by homosexuals occur during their youth, and gay youths are 2 to 3 times more likely to attempt suicide than other young people. They may comprise up to 30 percent of completed youth suicides annually. The root of the problem of gay youth suicide is a society that discriminates against and stigmatizes homosexuals while failing to recognize that a substantial number of its youth has a gay or lesbian orientation.
