Driving Career Mobility
Through Mentorship
The StreetWise Partners Mission
StreetWise Partners is on a mission to drive career mobility and ensure that adults from under-served communities can develop strong professional fluency and resiliency. Our comprehensive mentor and career coaching program empowers job seekers with skills, social capital and self-trust to achieve financial stability through meaningful employment.
Today, professional skills and networks are just as important as an education, but they are not distributed equally. Where you grow up, go to school and whether your parents are college educated make a difference, sometimes 12x the advantage in gaining access to career opportunity.
This is Your Time to become a mentee, to volunteer with us, to partner with us, to fuel change.
“I would sometimes have doubts that I’m not smart enough to sit at the table I wanted because I didn’t go to the most prestigious school or have family who worked in corporate. My mindset changed after networking with professionals who are thriving and have the same background as me. They were also first-generation college students or first-generation working in corporate, with parents who were stay-at-home moms or worked blue collar jobs. I realized that if they can do it, I can do it too.”
