Student voices

Confidence grows through connection.

“Before my first Rock The Street, Wall Street session, I was nervous that I didn’t have enough experience or knowledge, but I quickly realized that what mattered most was being open to learning and stepping outside my comfort zone.”

Why it matters

Changing the narrative in finance.

Girls do as well as boys in math through middle school, but many lose interest in high school, in part because they see few women role models in the field. Rock The Street, Wall Street meets students at that pivotal stage with financial education and industry connections. Volunteers share their experience and help students see pathways into the world of finance.
