GET STARTED

StreetWise Bridge is our mentoring program that provides 1:1 career development support to adults from under-served communities. 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 opportunity.

How it Works

We match you with a mentee. We guide you through our curriculum.
You empower your mentee. You watch your mentee succeed.

During your one year with StreetWise, you will provide a bridge to success.



"Mentorship generates growth and empowerment. It provides a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life, with rewards that are both personal and professional."

                      - Caroline Gardner, Mentor



“It’s inspiring and breathtaking to see how a mentee grows and develops throughout the program. Even midway through the cycle, it can feel like you’re talking to a totally different person, as they start to carry themselves with more confidence.”        
                                - Maya Wilson, Mentor



“A lot of our role is less tactical and more about offering perspective, talking through things, and providing an open, empathetic ear. I’ve loved watching my mentee gain confidence in her qualifications and her ability to articulate them.”
