Why StreetWise is So Critical
As the labor market continues to shift, it has become clear that the US workforce does not have enough workers and skilled candidates to fill an ever-increasing number of highly-skilled jobs. To address the skills shortage, employers need access to new pipelines of talent. This requires recruiting from non-traditional labor pools: the city college educated, immigrants, and people with unconventional career paths. While recruiters and hiring managers are beginning to adjust their recruitment practices and hiring procedures to avoid overlooking skilled talent, many companies are struggling to find these candidates.
That is where StreetWise comes in.
For nearly 27 years, StreetWise has served as one of the only workforce development mentoring programs for adults in the country. We have core capabilities that drive excellence at what we do:
We know how to establish deep partnerships with community organizations, hard skills training programs, colleges, and corporations.
We know how to bring people together to develop new skills through mentorship.
We know how to build meaningful community and social capital for mentees and mentors.
We know how to train volunteers to be good mentors and future managers who advocate for equitable and unbiased hiring practices.
As a result of our mentorship program, on average:
Who We Serve
We are one of a small handful of workforce organizations across that country that is focused on adult mentorship and social capital building. We specifically target unemployed or underemployed graduates of city colleges and certification programs or graduates with degrees from foreign countries who have a common challenge - they lack the critical social networks that shape career plans and prospects. Despite their qualifications and determination, they have been unsuccessful in obtaining roles that offer living wages, benefits, and upward mobility.
On average, 95% of our talent pool are people of color, two thirds are under 25 years of age, half are in the process of obtaining their bachelor's degrees, and average annual personal income upon entering the StreetWise Bridge program is under $13K. To create a pipeline of young adults who need our services, we collaborate with more than 25 workforce development and hard skills training organizations such as Per Scholas, Year Up, KIPP, Upwardly Global, NPower, The English Speaking Union, Camba, Cooper Union, East River Family Strengthening Collaborative, Skyland Workforce Center, Byte Back, Upwardly Global, Merit America, Pathfinders, Worksource Montgomery, Virginia Career Works. We also work closely with Prince George's Community College, University of the District of Columbia, Trinity Washington University, Montgomery Community College, and CUNY schools such as Lehman School of Business, Baruch College, Brooklyn College, and others.
Meet StreetWise Bridge
In November 2023, we launched a new brand name and logo for our program. Since 1997 we have served more than 10,000 adults with our program, as a bridge to:
connect unemployed and underemployed people with career opportunities
unite learners and workers
close the opportunity gap
This is the foundation we are built on and the inspiration for formalizing our program with a brand and logo: StreetWise Bridge.
StreetWise Bridge perfectly captures the spirit of our mission and the career journey our job seekers follow as they gain a mentor and build a bridge to their success. The StreetWise Bridge program provides our mentees, job seekers and alumni with the career exposure and professional networks they need to secure in-demand jobs. The program operates in three phases:
Navigating the StreetWise Bridge: Each participant (mentee) is paired with up to two volunteers (mentors). Over 13 weeks, the pairs create career maps, design resumes, build Linkedin profiles, develop elevator pitches and practice interview skills.
Activating the StreetWise Bridge: Mentees–now called job seekers—apply their new skills and resources to secure employment. This phase includes nine months of continued mentorship and personalized support from our Talent Services team who connect them with open jobs and internships at global companies.
Beyond the StreetWise Bridge: Upon employment, we support program graduates with ongoing mentorship and advancement support through monthly events that cover topics such as DEI, imposter syndrome, negotiation, managing upward and managing laterally.
In today’s job world, professional skills and networks are just as important as education but are not distributed equally. Factors like where you grow up and go to school and whether your parents are college educated can make a significant impact — 12 times the advantage, — in gaining access to opportunity. StreetWise Bridge helps to level that playing field through career exposure, experiential learning, problem solving, industry knowledge, and building social capital. We envision a society where hard work and self-determination is enough for job and career success.
Program Impact Statistics
As we continued to grow and adapt to the changing workforce, economic and societal shifts following the pandemic, we had great progress in the impact we track across our two service areas.
In 2023, we saw the following impact across our regions.
Moving Stories of Success
Aigerim, Alumnus
Born in Kyrgyzstan, Aigerim came to the U.S. with her family when she was 10 years old. Her experience as the eldest child helped her parents and siblings figure out how things worked in the U.S., like taking the SATs to get into college. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree from CUNY School of Professional Studies, and after school wasn’t progressing to late-stage interviews for jobs she really wanted. In Spring 2022, Aigerim joined StreetWise as a mentee with specific goals: 1) to improve her interview and communications skills; 2) to expand her network; and 3) to secure a job in finance. With the help of StreetWise and her mentor, she achieved all three. Now she is happily working at JP Morgan Chase and is the first woman in her family to be in a corporate career.
“My mentor helped me practice questions and research the role and company. I’m grateful to have a mentor who fully supports me and cheers me on.”
Louis, Alumnus
When Louis Soto Ciprián joined StreetWise Partners as a mentee, he had been in and out of homeless shelters for three years. Growing up in the inner city and going through the foster system, Louis Soto “lost it all multiple times at an early age,” he shares. A broken leg had ended his hopes for a basketball career. He was struggling in college and working odd jobs. And still, he wanted so much for himself. When Louis joined the StreetWise Partners program, he was paired with two mentors working in different fields — management consulting and IT infrastructure — who helped him develop his professional character. He learned how to articulate himself in a professional setting, including creating talk tracks, delivering his elevator pitch, and developing the charisma he needed to have relevant conversations and network. Louis also gained the core skills of how to write a resume and prep for a job interview. Today, years later, he’s a successful Enterprise Account Executive for Zappos at Work (ZAW).
“StreetWise uplifted me by providing me with the opportunity to gain access to a community of mentors, career preparation, corporate networking events, and personal growth.”
Krystal, Alumnus
Krystal Lian grew up in a Chinese-speaking family and community in Brooklyn and is a first-generation college student. While attending Baruch College, Krystal took on a part-time job at the A+ Academy learning center, where she also communicated in Chinese. Although she could speak and comprehend English, Krystal still lacked the confidence to use it fluently. As a rising junior Krystal was intrigued when she heard a speaker talk about someone getting an internship thanks to StreetWise. She researched the program, applied, and was accepted. With the support of StreetWise, Krystal learned how to communicate in different settings, prepare for interviews, and network — all of which built her skills and confidence. After two successful internships in finance, she is now preparing for the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) introductory-level finance exam and looking for her first full-time role post-graduations.
“I am so thankful I joined StreetWise. I was introverted, very shy, and didn’t know how to communicate very well, so it was eye-opening to learn how people speak in the professional world.”
Mercy, Alumnus
In 2015, Mercy Umanzor Martine’s entire family came to the U.S. from El Salvador. She had to stay behind because her application wasn’t approved. All she could do was wait — and focus on her career. She continued working in procurement and pursued additional education, including a Master’s Degree in Supply Chain Management & Logistics. Then when Mercy was approved to come to the U.S., she wasn’t able to become employed until she got her work authorization documents. While she waited, she enrolled in English classes and, based on a tip from her sister, signed up for the StreetWise mentoring program in Washington, D.C. She thought it would take a long time to get a job in the field she loves. She was wrong-- StreetWise Partners helped her quickly land her dream job as a procurement manager before she even graduated from the program.
“StreetWise opened my eyes to new approaches to achieving my career goals. It helped me realize that my knowledge and experience are transferable and that I can land my dream job here in the U.S.”
Alain, Alumnus
Originally from West Africa, Alain Coulibaly came to the U.S. with an impressive academic and professional background. He had a Master’s Degree in Environmental Health, Safety, and Quality Management, multiple certifications, and years of experience working in his field. Despite his qualifications, he struggled to find a job where he could use those skills. Then he joined the StreetWise Partners mentorship program in Washington, D.C. — and three months later, landed a role as an Environmental Health and Safety Specialist. He says he’s a new person now — so much more comfortable and confident interacting with people. In addition to working in his new role, Alain is completing an MBA at the University of Maryland Global Campus to improve his management skills. He is always trying to be better and figure out how to make things work for his career and his family.
“StreetWise changed my life in the U.S. in just three months.”
Olga, Alumnus
Ukraine was Olga Potapova’s home. It’s where she lived and where she had a successful career as an accountant. But in December of 2022, she left her country to escape the war and came to the U.S. Everything was brand new — the language, the culture, the job search. But that didn’t hold her back. Shortly after moving in with her daughter and son-in-law in Bethesda, Maryland, Olga heard about StreetWise, a free, one-year mentoring program to help people like her navigate the U.S. job market. She knew right away that it was exactly what she needed. With the support of StreetWise Partners, she learned the skills she needed to find a job in the U.S. and keep working as an accountant in a career she loves.
“Without StreetWise, it would have been really difficult to break into the professional world. I am so grateful that the program exists and that I participated in it. It helped me understand the job search and get a job.”
The Opportunity Pledge
In September 2023 during Workforce Development Month, we announced The Opportunity Pledge; a public commitment companies are making to build an inclusive and diverse workforce.
The Opportunity Pledge is an open call for organizations to commit to advance economic equity in the workforce. Companies contribute to The Opportunity Pledge in three ways: by making a tax-deductible financial contribution to StreetWise Partners to reach more jobseekers, by making a commitment to hire StreetWise Partners’ graduates, and through in-kind donations such as lending office space for in-person programming.
The Opportunity Pledge offers employers a proven program to attract talent while growing a diverse workforce. Forward-thinking organizations have joined the pledge to publicly mark their commitment. Early adopters of The Opportunity Pledge included Erickson Immigration Group, Symphony, Mizuho, Tradeweb, TIAA, Global Atlantic Financial Group, and The Ready Foundation.
The Opportunity Pledge is an ongoing campaign and commitment, grow along with us and your peers and reach out today to join and sign the pledge!
Driving Investment and Scale: a $1M Gift from Global Atlantic Financial Group
In June 2023, Global Atlantic Financial Group invested $1M to fuel the organization’s strategic goals and deepen their commitment to our programs and the mentees and job seekers we serve. Beyond dollars, Global Atlantic committed volunteer resources and internships within the company. Since 2020, they have hired 14 StreetWise graduates as interns, three of whom have converted to full-time jobs.
We also honored them with the StreetWise Champion award at our Annual Partnership Breakfast and debuted a video highlighting our deep, holistic partnership with the firm and several StreetWise program alum.
This year we are working together to place four more candidates into internship roles in Summer 2024.
“At Global Atlantic, we devote a substantial number of resources to attract, retain and develop exceptional talent. The talent coming out of StreetWise is impressive and their enthusiasm for learning is unparalleled. The social impact that StreetWise is having is tremendous, and so we are doubling down on our commitment.”
Dan O’Shea,
Chief Administrative Officer at Global Atlantic
CEO Prize from HSBC
In January 2023, StreetWise Partners was awarded the Involve CEO Prize by HSBC’s CEO in recognition of StreetWise’s strong leadership and volunteer engagement program. In four years, over 200 HSBC volunteers have participated in StreetWise events, supporting 500 mentees through special workshops such as: The Race and Corporate America series, the Black Experience in the Workplace and the Asian Experience in the Workplace, How to Make a Strong First Impression at Work, and Combatting Imposter Syndrome.
Petrie Foundation Grant
In 2023 we were honored to receive a renewed investment from The Carroll and Milton Petrie Foundation which aims to increase economic opportunity by strengthening college and career pathways for low-income New Yorkers. The Foundation supports innovative programs and practices that improve readiness for and connection to higher education, enable students to thrive and succeed in college, and increase access to high potential careers upon graduation.
Community Partner Profile: Lehman College School of Business
Over the past year, StreetWise has formed a deep collaboration with the Lehman College School of Business. The School of Business, with departments in Accounting, Management and Business Innovation, and Finance, Information Systems, and Economics, launched July 1, 2022, followed by an official opening ceremony on September 15, 2022.
Lehman College School of Business is committed to educating students in business competencies through innovative and experiential learning-based programs. It provides high-quality transformative education in partnerships with businesses in the Bronx, the rest of New York City, and beyond, to a diverse group of students. Over the past year, the StreetWise Bridge program has helped students connect their education to work, providing them with valuable professional exposure.
"You can't be what you can't see. StreetWise shows our students what is possible by bringing them to Manhattan, connecting them with mentors and helping them set tangible career goals".

Director of Experiential Learning

Volunteerism
Volunteerism is the cornerstone of the StreetWise program model. Every year hundreds of corporate professionals dedicate 10,000 hours of service as volunteers, mentors, and through networking events and workshops. Volunteers support StreetWise mentees with skill building, networking, career exploration, job searching, interviewing, navigating the hiring process, and more. Volunteers contribute to and nurture the sense of community for StreetWise mentees, and also gain from the community as it flourishes. As a result, volunteers develop their own leadership and management skills and gain access to professional leaders, professional development workshops, networking opportunities, and more.
Volunteers participate in the program for one-day events, according to their interests and availability. It is a wonderful way to contribute to the mentee's career trajectory and gives shorter bursts of high-value interaction and activities.
StreetWise offers a variety of volunteer opportunities that vary based on time commitment and interest. These include:
Mentor
Volunteers are paired with a mentee to provide valuable professional and soft skill development to support job search and engagement. Mentors provide coaching and hands-on training. Volunteers can renew their involvement in each cycle. This is a year-long commitment. The program is currently being conducted virtually and in-person.
One-Time Volunteer
Volunteers can participate in one-time events including mock interviews, and speed networking. These events give our mentees a chance to practice their skills and gain feedback and allow volunteers to have a meaningful high-impact short-term volunteer experience. These events are currently being hosted in-person and are 2.5 hours each.
Lead Volunteer
Mentors who have volunteered for two or more cycles can serve as a Lead Volunteer and are responsible for presenting curriculum and overseeing a group of mentor/mentee pairs. They develop exceptional leadership and organizational skills and strong facilitation/presentation skills.
“I wanted my mentee to know that she’s not alone in this process and that she has a community that believes in her and wants her to do her best.”
Maya,
Volunteer and Mentor
“My mentors were always available to give me advice and share their knowledge. They were phenomenal in the ways they taught, supported, and encouraged me.”
Drita, Alumnus
“My mentor showed me a lot of new platforms and taught me how to be really organized. He really shaped me into a more mature, responsible person. I learned how vital an internship is and how important it is to allow you to grow in your own career. I was just really lucky to score him as a mentor.”
Yajaira, Alumnus
“I want to uplift my community. My community is underserved and it’s just because we lack certain resources. I’m big on how I can motivate and speak life into people like me, and help them bridge that gap like StreetWise Partners did for me.”
Jamar, Alumnus
Raising the Ante Poker Tournament
On November 9, 2023, more than 300 people gathered at SPIN New York to invest in mentorship and spend a night playing poker at our 14th annual Raising the Ante charity poker tournament. The tournament raised a record $533,000 including sponsorships, donations, rebuys, and silent auction bidding for the tournament.
Thank you to everyone who came, played, donated, bid on the silent auction, drove attendance, and sponsored this year’s tournament. See you next year, when we‘ll aim even higher to support our vision to create the most diverse, empowered and capable workforce for today and tomorrow.
Annual Partnership Breakfast
Our Annual Partnership Breakfast on June 8, hosted nearly 300 people who helped us raise over $370,000, which will be used to transform the lives of another 500 individuals in the coming year. Our mission was on full display at the breakfast through stories of transformation from former mentees.
We honored Qasim Isphahani with the Outstanding Mentorship Award. Qasim has volunteered with StreetWise for eight years, officially mentored 10 job seekers, and touched the lives of over 100 graduates.
“I feel that I take away a lot more from these mentoring relationships than I give,” said Qasim. “I feel energized after every session and every event. Being engaged in StreetWise programs and witnessing the transformation that mentees have made and continue to make during the process has made me a believer in this movement.”
Thank you to everyone who was and continues to be a part of our success at the Annual Breakfast. We'll see you again soon!
Financial Overview
StreetWise ended the year with a surplus of $1.1M, having achieved ambitious revenue goals to support our strategic plan, and connecting more individuals to opportunity. The organization maintained a healthy cash balance throughout the year and maintained a Board Reserve Fund to support future program innovation and long-term sustainability.
We also received $163K in-kind support.
Board of Directors
Vision for 2024
More than a third of Americans over age 16 are not working or looking for a job. It is more important than ever that we help adults from under-resourced communities find, evaluate, finance, secure and flourish in opportunities that lead to high quality jobs.
For 2024 we are laser-focused on our strategic plan and providing the tools, access and experience needed to confidently navigate various career pathways.
We are scaling our Talent Services program, connecting our job seekers with employment faster and at higher starting salaries. We are increasing our operational efficiency through investments in technology, systems and human capital. We are expanding our circle of supporters, engaging new corporations, employers, volunteers and donors to drive economic equity.
