Workshops
Our workshops are designed with the needs of first-generation students in mind.
From 2019–2021, First Gen Empower hosted workshops covering the college and trade school application process, financial aid and scholarships, career pathways, succeeding in college, and much more.
All of our workshops are open to the public and available below. On this page, we have provided the presentation alongside the recording of the workshop (if available). To get the full experience, we encourage you to attend our workshops live!
