Young Wall Street says boot camp doubled participation and will scale to 200 families
Summary
Erica Blair McGrew of Young Wall Street told the ad hoc committee her program increased boot-camp participants from 25 to 50 and served students from 10 of 13 districts; the program aims to reach 200 families over the grant period.
Erica Blair McGrew, representing Young Wall Street, updated the ad hoc committee on the program’s early results and growth plans.
McGrew said the first Young Wall Street boot camp cohort doubled from 25 to 50 participants, and the organization served students from 10 of the county’s 13 school districts during the initial round. The group’s goal is to scale the program to touch 200 families during the grant period. She also reported that Young Wall Street has started compiling metrics and data to document outcomes and will work with commissioners to promote participation in underrepresented districts.
Chair Ford praised the early work and suggested the group’s graduates could be competitive in finance careers; committee members asked that the organization continue building measurable outcomes for the quarterly reporting requirements.
What’s next: Young Wall Street will continue outreach to the three districts not yet represented and finalize its data metrics for the January update.
