A MENTORING PROGRAM

In support of Viacom’s Get Schooled initiative, Paramount Pictures has established Kindergarten to Cap & Gown.  This program offers our employees an opportunity to make a lasting impact in the life of a student through mentoring, reading, career exploration and other volunteer activities. 
The program is focused on sharing what we do best in film and entertainment: sparking imagination, creativity and exploration through storytelling.

Kindergarten to Cap & Gown assists students here in our own Hollywood neighborhood at four local elementary, middle and high schools.
