Congrats to our Young Professionals Board Member Yaritza Vallejo for being recognized as one of Hispanic Executive's 30 under 30 honoree!👏 #YPB #youngprofessionalsboard #greenwoodproject
If someone had told me five years ago that I would be recognized as one of Hispanic Executive’s 30 Under 30 honoree, I would have thought they were joking. Being part of this list is a tremendous honor, and now reflecting on my journey, I realize that every decision, every ounce of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice has led to this moment. Thank you Hispanic Executive and NextGen Collective for believing in me, I am immensely thankful.

Last Tuesday, Greenwood Project hosted a fireside chat, “Pathways to Finance: Challenges and Opportunities from the Greenwood Project Scholar Perspective," at the FIA Futures & Options Expo. CEO, Kwesi Smith, CFA, and our two alumni Scholars Imani Noel and Andre Reynolds II shared insights about navigating the transition from college to careers in finance. Their stories inspired a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the next generation of professionals. Thank you to FIA, Inc. for providing a platform! #greenwoodproject #gpeffect #pathwaystofinance #futureleaders #FIAexpo #financialservices #financeindustry #internshipopportunity #firesidechat #conference

Every great journey begins with opportunity. That's why today, we're proud to announce $1M+ in grants through the #LPLFoundation to four groundbreaking organizations shaping a more inclusive future for finance: The American College of Financial Services, CFP Board, Girls Who Invest, and Greenwood Project. These partnerships will create scholarships, internships, and mentorship programs that open doors for underrepresented talent. Because when financial professionals reflect the communities they serve, everyone wins. Over the past four years, we've invested $2.5M in organizations working to diversify the next generation of financial professionals. But numbers only tell part of the story. The real impact happens one career at a time, as talented individuals from under-resourced communities step into roles where they can help families build generational wealth. Learn more about these organizations at the link in our comments. 🔗

Today on First-Generation College Celebration Day, we’re proud to honor our First-Gen Scholars at Greenwood Project.👏 Over 55% of Greenwood Project Scholars are trailblazers in their families, navigating the college journey and paving new paths toward success. First-Gen students bring invaluable qualities like resilience, leadership, and a pioneering spirit to higher education.
