At AIMCO, we are committed to advancing financial literacy and mentorship. Through our partnership with Rock The Street, Wall Street, our volunteers equip high school girls with real-world finance and capital markets knowledge while providing guidance for their future careers.

By exploring asset classes, engaging with industry professionals, and hearing insights from senior women in finance, these students expand their understanding of the field and the possibilities ahead. AIMCo is proud to support their growth and future success.

“I’ve had the privilege of launching and expanding RTSWS programming in coordination with the CFA Society of Louisiana at a local high school. One of the program’s highlights is the office visit, where we welcomed students into the office and engaged senior leaders at a volunteer firm. These office field trips are more than just a glimpse into the industry—they’re a powerful, shared experience highlighting the depth of what these students are learning.

We are continually inspired by their drive and determination to build their own futures, many of which lead into related degrees as well as the financial industry. The impact of RTSWS is lasting, and I’m proud to be part of this journey.”
