In 2020, the PREA Foundation partnered with Urban Alliance, a national youth workforce development nonprofit, on a new philanthropic investment to bridge the gap between young, diverse talent and upwardly mobile, living-wage careers in the industry. Urban Alliance created the Residential Real Estate Property Management Pathway to introduce high school seniors from under-resourced communities to the property management industry and support their transition to the workforce.

We seek organizational involvement in this program by providing property management internship or sponsorship opportunities (leasing and maintenance) for young people in DC, Northern Virginia, and Chicago.
