As first-generation students, we have experienced challenges on the road to college: language barriers, financial issues, and internal struggles. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these issues were exacerbated, such as restricted access to counseling services. Other services were limited, including in-person college centers, internships and programs.
Expanding college and career preparation to a digital environment increases accessibility to these necessary connections. Our website provides easy-to-find resources for first-gen students seeking to gain academic and professional experience.
We provide a space to access information, breaking boundaries so we can all rise to the stars.
