A remarkable morning celebrating the power of partnership and access to opportunity

We were proud to honor Fitch Group and Randstad US Charitable Foundation for their incredible support of career mobility — and inspired by alumni like Ahmed, who turned opportunity into success and now gives back as a mentor and volunteer. Watch his story about the StreetWise Ripple Effect.

Congratulations to the Winter 2026 cohort in NY for graduating from the StreetWise program.

We also want to thank Mizuho for hosting us in their offices and for once again sponsoring the Mentee Inspiration in Action Award.

Melissa Mendel, Head of Business Marketing, Investment & Corporate Banking, Mizuho Americas, presented this cycle's awards to Lemarr and Caroline, who were selected by their fellow mentees and mentors for their positive outlook and tireless dedication to their career journeys. In addition to the award, Lemarr and Caroline will also receive a stipend to support their transition from job seeker to professional.

Congratulations to our new alumni, and thank you to the volunteers and partners who made this evening possible.
