“Our first session of Rock The Street Wall Street was an incredible success at Kitsilano Secondary School in Vancouver. The students were 100% engaged in the material, impressed by the incredible financial professionals delivering the curriculum, and grateful for the after school snacks! Many of the students in the program have already shared how excited they are to be learning about the field of finance and how they’re looking forward to developing their financial literacy skills.” -

The students seemed pretty impressed, too!
“I found the first session to be a fun, informational introduction to what we'll be doing over the next few weeks. It was super nice getting to know our mentors and their stories, what they hope to see from us, sharing our knowledge in finance, and more. We took quite a lot from the first session such as when we discussed definitions of financial terms, and it was interesting to brainstorm and collaborate with each other as well as the mentors.
- Riya, Student CEO, Kitsilano Secondary School
We can’t wait to hear more from Kitsilano Secondary School and are so excited to have our program there. Thank you to Courtney Funk and friends for helping make this cohort possible, the Vancouver volunteers and to everyone at Kitsilano for your partnership and joining the RTSWS family!
