The journey from being the first in one’s family to attend college to becoming a beacon of hope and leadership in the community is challenging and rewarding.
All Access College Fair: Empowering First Generation Students to Navigate Higher Education! FG students can meet with representatives from different colleges all in one place. That is why we host the All Access College Fair every year to help our students meet with college representatives. Donate here!
All of this support-driven success is only possible because of the contributions from our donors. That’s why we’re offering you the opportunity to support our generation-changing organization with donations to our end-of-fiscal year campaign. Our goal is to raise $20,000 by the end of this month to sustain the positive impact we have on our First Graduate® students in a way that changes their lives forever.
