Franklin Templeton held the final meeting of the fall session of Rock the Street, Wall Street (RTSWS) in New Jersey on November 15, 2022. RTSWS is a financial and investment literacy program that aims to pique the interest of a diverse population of high school girls in financial careers. Franklin Templeton takes part in the academic program throughout the year. Female financial professionals lead classroom workshops, including hands-on financial math projects on money management, during a five-week fall financial project-based learning program.
During the spring session, students are assigned a mentor who assists them in identifying and emphasizing individual strengths, discussing college and career preparation, and developing positive money management habits.
“I enjoyed being a project leader because it gave me an opportunity to interact with colleagues from across the firm. Through liaising with RTSWS, organizing the volunteer schedule, reviewing the material with the volunteers and participating in the classroom sessions, I got another avenue to network and learn more about Franklin Templeton.” said project leader, Heather Ziff, Director, Fund Administration and Reporting.
