About the Organization
Rock The Street, Wall Street, a high impact nonprofit, empowers underrepresented high school girls by reintroducing the M in STEM with a focus on financial and investment mathematics that support an inspired path from high school and college to their first roles in the financial markets and economic activities.
After enjoying a thriving 25-year tenure on Wall Street, Maura Cunningham founded Rock The Street, Wall Street with a mission to empower young women and amplify diversity in an industry that propelled her forward as a first-generation college graduate. With unwavering determination, foresight, and collaboration with industry leaders, RTSWS is not only expanding the talent pipeline but also advancing alongside its high school students through the innovative platform of its Student & Alumnae Career Center. RTSWS delivers top tier educational experiences to break barriers and foster participation in the capital markets and financial workforce, dedicated to empowering young women with equal access.
Research indicates that girls in the US, UK, and Canada perform on par with boys in math during elementary and middle school, but their performance wanes significantly in high school and secondary school, and beyond, known as the “gender gap.” Contributing factors include societal biases, lack of female role models in math-related fields, and gender-based socialization. It is important to recognize that this gap varies across regions and cultures. However, solutions are evident.
Research affirms that interventions boosting girls’ math and science interest yield positive results in narrowing the gender gap. Urgent action is essential to reshaping the trajectory for girls in math, spanning schools, companies, and homes. RTSWS’ initiatives revitalize girls’ enthusiasm for math within a pivotal life phase, as they make vital choices. At this crossroads of financial independence, college decisions, and career paths, the time to make a difference is now.
