What Our Alumni Say



“If somebody’s investing their time and resources in me, then I’m going to respect that and put in the work to finish the program. StreetWise was a hand extending to help me keep believing even when I didn’t feel worth it. People believed in me so I kept pushing.”

StreetWise Partners Success Story, Mentorship

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity I’ve had at NASA and thank my mentor for everything,” says Ben. “Without that first step with StreetWise, I would not be where I am today. It’s like compound interest – as long as I have an initial investment and someone investing in me like my mentor did, I will keep growing and growing.”

StreetWise Partners Success Story


"StreetWise helped me connect with amazing people and mentors,” she says. “I learned about the benefits of networking and informational interviews as well as how to schedule them, ask questions, and handle formal conversations. The support, workshops, and meetings with my mentors helped me understand corporate America and learn about different companies.”
