📈 At Rock The Street, Wall Street our work is possible thanks to the extraordinary commitment of our industry volunteers and corporate sponsors who invest in the next generation.
✨ We're grateful to leaders like Steve Jarmel and the team at Periscope Equity, whose support helps students gain access to an industry they may never have imagined for themselves.
💬 As Steve recently shared:
"At Periscope, we believe students benefit most when they are introduced to career possibilities before key college and career decisions are made. High school is a critical time to help young people understand the breadth of opportunities within finance and the capital markets, especially for students who may not have industry connections.
💬 RTSWS helps hard working students feel welcomed, confident, and capable early in their journeys through mentorship, industry access, and real-world experiences. That early encouragement can have a lasting impact on the educational and career paths students choose. We are proud to support RTSWS and its work to help build a stronger, more robust future for our industry."
🎓 At RTSWS, we know that access changes outcomes. When students meet professionals, visit workplaces, build their networks, and see themselves reflected in the industry, they begin to recognize that they belong.
🚀 Thank you, Steve, and thank you to all of our sponsors, mentors and champions who continue to open doors and help students move from classrooms to careers.
📊 Special shoutout to Steve Jarmel, Eric Hinkle, Lisa (Lerner) Harkins, Ami Mehta, Beth Bender and Sabryna Voss.
