Awesome thank you.
City College has a diverse population of students and their BIC (branding and integrated communications) produces some strong thinkers. Reach out to them. They have an active Facebook Group where opportunities are posted for students. (Google “City College BIC”)
A note about this question... while I applaud the efforts to open opportunities to people of all backgrounds, I would encourage you to focus on ways to ensure you are not just hiring token people. This means you need to hire them, and then actually take their perspective into account. Simply hiring people of color and then thinking your job is done is missing a crucial step. Best of luck with your search
you know, op? you're pretty darn cool
Your problem is that you’re looking for interns. The American school system is a big financial barrier and thus disproportionally affects black and Hispanic people. The solution is to eliminate the university degree barrier, and actively (not passively) look for entry-level junior candidates.
Raised in lower classes. Advertising has a serious issue with providing living wages, which is why rich white kids can afford them and you might be having issues finding interns. You've probably already gotten that feedback on the rest of the thread, but just in case...
Columbia and NYU are probably not good places to start that search
Great thank you - will help me not waste my time.
I'm a white poor immigrant from a socialist country but I sometimes volunteer as an advisor at SEO, Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, a nonprofit. Google them and try to get in touch. They have high-school and college programs and are solely for black, Latino and Native American students.
P.S. The two women on my team both went to NYU, one is from Vietnam and the other from Nicaragua. So, there is that, too. Assumptions are dangerous. Many poor but determined immigrants make it to top universities on sheer merit and very hard work and struggle but agreed they're not majority. I just wouldn't wave away everyone who went to top schools as a white rich kid...
Thank you for the info and context!
maip and jopwell are good places to look
Awesome thanks JC
I second connecting with Ericka Riggs of the Advertising Club of New York. She's currently looking for placement for her current class of interns.
Perfect thank you
There’s a significant latino population at UT, many PR and creatives. Would reach out to the dean there, a lot of them want to be in NY for the summer.
This is awesome. Thank you v much.
Reach out to Ericka Riggs at The Ad Club
Thank you so much
HBCU schools
City Tech (New York City College of Technology) in downtown Brooklyn I feel is a very unique an overlooked College. Which definitely has that diversity factor that you're looking for with many skills in advertising/design to boot! They have a Facebook group called "Communication Design @ Citytech" as well. Please feel free to check them out.

Great thank you
Looking for social media, PR/marketing interns.
New to American school system. Having awesome resumes fall on my lap but for some reason it’s a lot of Asian candidates. Which I love. But our team has a lot of ABCs/Asians already (incl myself), so I also want more diversity but I don’t know where to start. Columbia? NYU? Is that diverse?
Hire me,
CUNY should be an option for you, too. Marketing programs at Baruch, Hunter, City College, etc have students who would appreciate the opportunity, and feel valued for a look among candidates from prestige schools.
I also wanna drop in City Tech. I can help anybody connect to the school, in case they're looking for talent
Schools typically have multi cultural student unions that will help with this. Also check students from hbcu’s (Morehouse, Spelman, Howard, Hampton, FAMU, etc)
Of course! Glad to see thread
I would check out Find Spark. They connect companies with disadvantaged communities
When trying to break into the ad industry, if you’re not white and from a wealthy background, yeah, your road in is harder. That’s not me being racist, it’s the statistics and reality of recruiting. FindSpark helps anyone who normally gets passed over make the same connections as someone who went to VCU.
Reach out to The One Club’s Diversity and Inclusion department.
Thank you this is great
Reach out to God-Is Rivera on Twitter. She spoke to diversity a couple years ago @ 4As conference and is well connected.
Mind if I message you OP?
Ah unfortunately we’re not looking for designers. I’m playing a hybrid role and hiring for more of a multiple hat wearer, doing social media/PR/marketing at a startup - so closer to a producer kind of role in agency terms.
BIC program at CCNY!
Thank you!
