Driving Economic Equity
Through Mentorship

The StreetWise Partners Mission

StreetWise Partners advances economic equity by connecting underrepresented talent to mentorship and career opportunities within the New York and D.C. Metro areas. Our programs empower adults, ages 18-65 with the skills, resources and access to networks to secure and maintain 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 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, StreetWise Partners Alumnus
