“This project has really opened my eyes. I am also a first generation American and this program has really helped me enhance my knowledge on topics I did not know too much about in the past. The program is full of people who really want to make a difference and are so welcoming and most of all so kind and supportive. They are always happy to answer questions and give amazing advice.”

“First Gen Empowerment has allowed me to involve my parents into my education and teach them as well as myself about the opportunities college can provide for me. By joining FGE I have been to access so many new resources and meet people with different careers that have inspired me.”

“FGE impacted my life the first day I found out about the project. It made me go home thinking about college and my future. FGE guided me to care about my future and showed me where to start. Also, the lovely people in FGE made me realize it is never to late to start thinking and planning my life beyond high school. FGE was a true wake up call and inspired me to keep going even if I felt like I was too behind. I will always thank FGE for turning my life around!”
