An experienced investment professional, Arthur “Art” J. Samberg reached the peak of his profession through his work with hedge funds, becoming an industry icon in the process. Now managing his family office, Hawkes Financial, LLC, Art Samberg dedicates much of his time to philanthropic activities and is a supporter of PeerForward, a nationwide program that partners with schools to create internal student networks with the aim of encouraging more low-income students to apply to college.

PeerForward provides extensive training to its Peer Leaders, who oversee PeerForward networks, helping them develop the skills required to create college-going cultures within their schools. In addition to operating summer workshops, during which PeerForward trains four high school seniors who go on to train a further four juniors, the organization provides continual coaching services, both on-site and via a range of media such as video conferences and emails.

Further, PeerForward provides training for one professional in each of its schools to offer support to the school’s network, in addition to giving partner schools a range of materials and marketing literature to build awareness of the program and the importance of a college education.
