Corporate Partnerships

Why Corporate Partnerships Matter

At Academy of Hope Adult Public Charter School (AoH), our mission is to support adult learners in transforming their lives—and their communities—through high-quality education and career training that creates real pathways to economic opportunity.

We believe lasting change starts with relationships. That’s why we seek partners who don’t just give, but who believe—believe in the power of adult education, in opportunity, and in the learners who show up every day determined to create a better future.

Your company can be part of that transformation.

Corporate Partnerships That Drive Real Change

Whether you’re building your first social impact initiative or expanding a long-standing commitment to education and workforce development, we offer meaningful ways for companies of all sizes and sectors to engage.

In-Kind Partnerships

Donations of goods and services—like laptops, classroom supplies, event and meeting space, meals, or professional services such as graphic design or IT support—make a real difference in helping learners succeed and allow AoH to stretch every dollar further.

Corporate Community Partners

Corporate Community Partners often work alongside AoH staff and instructors to lead learner events, facilitate workshops, and provide targeted support that helps learners stay motivated, engaged, and on track toward their goals.

Corporate Sponsorships

Sponsor a key moment in a learner’s journey—like our Graduation Ceremony, CNA Pinning, Career & College Fair, or Fall 5K Homecoming. Sponsorship includes recognition, branding, and customizable perks aligned with your goals.

Corporate Volunteer Opportunities

Give your employees meaningful ways to connect with adult learners—from mentoring and mock interviews to career talks and site visits.

Looking to engage your whole team? Host a classroom beautification day or supply drive.

Want to do more? Launch a workplace giving campaign to support learners year-round.

Corporate Workforce Partners

Help shape and grow a pipeline of adult learners trained for high-demand fields like healthcare, IT, and project management. Hire AoH graduates, offer apprenticeships or internships, or co-create training tailored to your hiring needs.
