Workshops for Students

FGE delivers engaging workshops to prepare first-generation and undocumented students to thrive in their college and career journey.

We partner with high schools, colleges, and non-profit organizations to design workshops that are specific to the unique needs of their first-generation and undocumented students. We personalize our workshops based on students’ grade/education level (e.g. a high school-level workshop will be more general than a college-level workshop).

Some of our past workshops:

“I really enjoyed the workshop. It was very helpful and informative. I [have not] learned as much about college, scholarships, and resources from [any other] place compared to FGE. You are making a difference in the lives of many first generation college students."

“It was very hard to find the motivation to do anything, let alone go to college. If it wasn't for FGE, I wouldn't have applied to college because I wouldn't have understood that it is a valid career open to me. Now I have made it into Cal Poly Pomona and am on my way up."
