The Challenge

There is a wealth gap in America. At Young Wall Street Traders, we exist to bridge the wealth gap for Black and Latino students.

A white American family has an average of 10 times the wealth of an Black family and the wealth gap continues to grow year over year. And while there may be endless contributing factors, one critical factor we must address is the generational mindset. Whether you come from upper, middle or lower class, you inherit a mindset that can keep you bound to an economic class.

Our Solution

If we are going to close the wealth gap for Black and Latino Americans, we must start with the mindset.

Young Wall Street Traders takes Black and Latino students through a generational wealth mindset immersion where we inspire new wealth mindsets and encourage everyday wealth conversations.
