First Gen Empower deploys a two-pronged approach to ensure college and career success for first-generation, low-income, and undocumented students.

For institutions

We strengthen the institutional capacity of high schools and colleges in supporting first-generation, low-income, and undocumented students.

Undocu-Ally Trainings: We partner with high schools and colleges to deliver trainings so they can effectively support undocumented students in succeeding in college and pursuing professional careers.

Personalized consulting: We provide personalized services to high schools, colleges, and student-serving organizations to strengthen their capacity to support undocumented students.

For Students

We work directly with first-generation, low-income, and undocumented high school and college students to prepare them to thrive in their college and career journey.

Workshops: We host workshops for students to prepare them for college and to succeed in the workforce. Topics include:

  • Completing college applications

  • Networking and professional development

  • Exploring careers and majors

  • Navigating life after college
