Fred Skolnik. A Partner in the Corporate and Securities Law Practice Group at Certilman Balin Adler & Hyman, LLP and he is a Board Member of Mentor New York. Through his passion for inspiring youth, he co-founded the LIKE (Lawyers Involved in Kids’ Education) program. This volunteer program establishes mentoring relationships between the law firm’s attorneys, staff and other volunteers with potentially “at-risk” elementary school students. It seeks to develop vocabulary and analytical skills, confidence and self-esteem in the mentees through word games and relationships. Fred has been administering the LIKE program since 2004 and says that this experience is “the best hour of his week.”
