Independent public-interest economics project serving Westchester County
Partnerships

Local knowledge can make economic education more useful.

WYE works with businesses, educators, nonprofits, and civic organizations on clearly defined projects that serve public understanding in Westchester County.

Ways to contribute

Practical collaboration, with a clear public purpose

A useful partnership begins with a real question, a specific audience, and an honest account of each organization’s role.

Local expertise

Expert interviews

Help explain how hiring, housing, transportation, lending, or operating costs work in practice. Interviews are attributed and checked against independent sources.

Education

Workshops and classroom resources

Collaborate on age-appropriate sessions that help students read economic data, understand local industries, and connect classroom concepts with real decisions.

Research access

Community outreach

Help distribute surveys, research briefs, or public resources to relevant audiences. Participation and any material support are disclosed.

What WYE offers

A focused platform for local economic understanding

Depending on the project, WYE can develop accessible explainers, interactive demonstrations, student-facing learning materials, local data summaries, or public conversations grounded in reliable sources.

Every proposal is evaluated for educational value, realistic scope, and fit with WYE’s independent mission.

Partnership standards

Independence is part of the work.

  • Partners do not purchase favorable coverage or research conclusions.
  • Financial or in-kind support is disclosed on the relevant project.
  • Partners may review their own factual statements, not WYE’s independent analysis.
  • Data sources, assumptions, and material limitations remain visible.
  • Projects involving students must protect privacy and avoid direct solicitation.

Propose a focused partnership.

In a short note, include your organization, the public or educational need you see, the audience you hope to reach, and any timing constraints. WYE can then suggest a realistic next step.
