Greenwood Project works with companies including Charles Schwab and Morgan Stanley to offer Black and Latino students access to careers in financial services.

"They're supplying you with a network that you would never be able to tap into," says Greenwood Project alumni Hayes Bynum, 26, a fixed income associate at Piper Sandler."I always felt that I was talented and I always felt that I would be successful. I just felt like I did not have enough information or enough of the exposure to the career paths necessary."

"In the summer of 2020 we went from 20 partners over three years, to ending the year with 30 partners." Bevon said."More people are becoming aware of the need for diversity in talent, diversity in people and we have become somewhat of a diversity supplier," Elois says.with Citadel and Citadel Securities to expand its summer high school program.

One of the shortcomings of modern recruiting, according to Bevon, is its lack of diversity."They keep fishing in the same ponds and don't look at a lot of smaller schools. We're disrupting financial recruiting," he said.
