From wealth management and consulting to investment banks and hedge funds, The Street Smarts has connected students from all different types of backgrounds to various opportunities in the Financial sector. This aids students to develop their full potential and to pursue their dream.
The Street Smarts Junior Board is the heart and soul of The Street Smarts. It is made up of over 20 TSS Scholars who are dedicated to the mission of the TSS. If you have any interest in joining this creative group of college students from all over the state of California, New York, and Mississippi.
The TSS Accounting Scholars program will work with college students to introduce them to career opportunities in the Accounting field. We encourage our scholars to strive to become part of something that is a little bit bigger than themselves. It is in this manner that they will stretch themselves and grow into excellence and achievement throughout their career.
The Street Smarts will be working with high school students from the East Bay area, San Francisco, and in Chicago to introduce financial literacy concepts. Students who learn to manage their finances early and often become adults who are better equipped to live independently. By teaching young adults to make good financial decisions, they learn to pay down debt or avoid it altogether.

The Street Smarts (TSS) is an Oakland based nonprofit that provides a unique opportunity for historically disadvantaged youth to explore all aspects of financial and accounting management.
