New York City Football Club (NYCFC) is delighted to announce the launch of its first higher education partnership with Berkeley College and Rennert International. The NYCFC and Berkeley College partnerships will work together on providing education, career development, and health and fitness initiatives that will benefit NYCFC fans and employees, along with Berkeley College and its students.

This partnership also brings in Rennert International, Berkeley College's affiliate International Language School, who will be providing language translation and interpretation services to the first team players of NYCFC. Rennert International brings diverse and exciting programs together with their partners, and are proud supporters of NYCFC and all the community work that they do.

“NYCFC’s values and multicultural and multilingual communities are aligned with Berkeley College’s mission of empowering students to achieve lifelong success in dynamic careers,” said Diane Recinos, Ed.D., President, Berkeley College. “This partnership with New York City’s Major League Soccer organization is an exciting way to engage with youth and families and spread awareness of the importance of higher education,” said Recinos.

With a shared value of providing diverse and equitable pathways to educating the next generation of New Yorkers, NYCFC, Berkeley College, and Rennert International will use the power of soccer to enrich the lives of local youth and NYCFC’s multicultural communities.
