o Everybody Wins. Sullivan & Cromwell sponsors a volunteer opportunity to enhance the life of a young person by devoting one lunch hour per week reading with a student at a nearby elementary school.
- Helen Keller International. For over 90 years, S&C has served the work of Helen Keller International ("HKI"), one of the oldest international nonprofit organizations devoted to combating and treating preventable blindness and malnutrition.
- Midwood High School. The Firm’s lawyers act as attorney-advisors/mentors to students from Midwood High School in preparation for Statewide High School Mock Trial and Moot Court Competitions.
- Pipeline Crisis/Winning Strategies Initiative. For the past three years, S&C, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice at Harvard Law School co-hosted this groundbreaking event in New York City. Over 1,000 guests participate in this important forum to discuss the alarming decrease in the number of young black men who are entering the educational pipeline for law firms, investment banks and other professional careers.
