Kicking off the State Street Mentoring Programme 2025

Earlier this month, we proudly launched the State Street x Parity Mentoring Programme, and what an inspiring start it was! The room was alive with energy, rich conversations, and powerful new connections. It was truly a space where professionals and our Young Black Men came together to share insights, aspirations, and mutual encouragement.

This programme is far more than a calendar of meetings , it’s a powerful commitment to shaping the future of young Black men from underrepresented backgrounds as they begin their journeys into the professional world. Through dedicated one-to-one mentoring, participants gain practical advice, confidence-building support, and the invaluable perspective that only lived experience can provide.

Whether seasoned mentors or first-timers, our volunteers stepped up to give back in a meaningful way — and in doing so, strengthened their own leadership skills and broadened their perspectives.

We’re incredibly grateful to our longstanding funder, State Street, for their continued partnership in establishing and sustaining The Parity Project. Their unwavering commitment to creating meaningful, community-rooted impact is what makes programmes like this possible.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Olanike Bamodu, Evan Wong, Assoc CIPD, and Jubril Aderibigbe for your dedication and support. Your contributions have been instrumental in bringing this initiative to life.

Here’s to a transformative year ahead. #ShapingTheFuture
