MENTORING AND WORK EXPERIENCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 
Through The Fellowship Initiative ("TFI"), we provide extensive 
and hands-on academic, social and emotional support to 
young men of color in high school. Since launching TFI in 2010 
in Chicago and New York and through the end of 2021, we 
have matched more than 350 high school Fellows with 
JPMorgan Chase employees, who serve as mentors for about 
three years. The mentors engage the Fellows in academic and 
project-based learning activities, college and career planning 
and leadership development opportunities, all with the goal 
of helping the Fellows successfully complete high school and 
prepare for post-secondary pathways. The program has 
contributed to a 100% admission rate to college among 
graduating Fellows. 
In 2020, we committed to grow the program to 1,000 Fellows 
nationally over the next 10 years – and in 2021, we made 
progress toward that goal by expanding the initiative to 
Houston, Oakland, and Washington, D.C. In these cities, we 
are working with local nonprofits – DiscoverU, Kingmakers of 
Oakland and Youth Guidance – to deliver the program. 
In the U.K., our Firm’s Aspiring Professionals Program, run in 
collaboration with the Social Mobility Foundation, supports 
talented young people from low income backgrounds with 
work experience, mentoring and skills sessions to equip them 
with skills to succeed in their future careers. Since launching 
in 2012, 800 young people from 426 different schools have 
been supported, and 70% of participants have secured a 
place at a university. Approximately 450 volunteers from the 
Firm have acted as mentors to the young people since the 
start of the program, and our Firm has committed to continue 
to run the program for a further three years and reach an 
additional 500 young people.
