ABOUT STUDENT SPONSOR PARTNERS

Founded by Peter Flanigan in 1986, Student Sponsor Partners (SSP) provides college preparatory high school education for low-income, average-achieving New York City youth and equips them with the academic foundation and character development they need to realize their untapped potential – tools to thrive academically and in their lives.

SSP is an innovative, fast-growing, highly respected organization that offers comprehensive educational and character development support, enabling young people to become outstanding leaders in their families and change agents in their communities. The organization is empowered with a leadership team that can address future opportunities and challenges while advancing the organization’s ambitious goals, visibility, impact, and growth.

Thousands of students are supported by a sponsor and a mentor to guide them through their high school years and beyond. SSP’s record of success is evidenced by the fact that more than 85 percent of its students graduate from high school, which is a substantially higher rate than that historically achieved by the New York City public high schools. Over 55 percent of SSP high school students graduate from college. SSP currently supports approximately 1,200 students a year.

Based in the Wall Street District of New York City, SSP has a current budget of approximately $10 million and has 25 budgeted employees. SSP currently operates on a full-time onsite schedule.
