Disrupting Finance
Watch the CNBC Interview with 23-year-old Lauren Simmons, the ONLY full-time female broker on the NYSE!
In the US, girls are M.I.A. in math classes and in finance. We aim to change that.
At RTSWS, we provide high school girls with basic money management skills and expose them to positive role models so they, too, can aspire to financial careers (just like Lauren)!
Spring Mentorship Survey Results
RTSWS is an academic year long financial literacy program. After the fall classroom sessions, each spring, RTSWS proteges are paired with financial professionals for the semester. These pros offer a firsthand (and often first time) view into the real world of finance, (the M of STEM), resume building and networking. Often, these mentor/protege relationships last for years.
RTSWS Students were asked,
“How has your participation in the RTSWS program changed your mind about STEM professions?”
RTSWS Students were asked,
“Would you recommend this mentorship program to a friend?”
