"You’ve spent a lifetime building social assets: professional relationships, community ties, and trusted contacts. By sharing your network with your child, you’re not just handing them a list of names, you’re modeling how to form, nurture, and grow these connections themselves. This not only helps your child understand the value of those relationships, but also equips them with the lifelong skill to build their own opportunities and networks"

Social Proof
Before Social Capital Smart, I thought getting an internship was all about resumes and applications. This course showed me the real power of relationships. By applying what I learned, I landed an internship at the State Attorney General's Office—not just because I applied, but because I connected with the right people. Now I know that success isn’t just about getting in the door—it’s about staying connected and growing your network for the long run.
I completed the Social Capital Smart course and haven’t stopped building my connections. Because of this, I landed incredible opportunities—interning at the Mayor's Office, working with Congresswoman Grace Meng’s office, and joining the Gerald E. Thomson Undergraduate Pre-Medical Program (GET-UPP). I even met people who already knew about Social Capital Builders! Social capital education needs to be in every school.
I took the course in 2022, taught it to my peers in 2023, and now I have internships everywhere—Berkadia, Capital One, and Fannie Mae. This experience has inspired me to pursue my MBA. One key takeaway from the course is that social capital is about giving as much as receiving. I make sure my network knows how much they matter to me. Thank you, Social Capital Builders!
