Who We Are
StreetWise Partners was founded in New York City in 1997 when a group of young professionals recognized that they had access to resources that could help improve career mobility. They had career experience, professional networks, and an eagerness to share this with others. They realized they could use these resources to help individuals who lacked role models and networks within their communities. With a small investment and a borrowed conference room, the founders launched an innovative mentoring program that grew into StreetWise Partners. In 2006, the organization expanded its operations to the D.C. Metro area.
What We Do
We are on a mission to drive career mobility and ensure that adults from under-served communities can develop strong professional fluency and resiliency. Our comprehensive mentoring, career coaching and job placement program empowers job seekers with skills, social capital and self-trust to achieve financial stability through meaningful employment.
