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!
Please note that we are regularly updating our resources to provide the most up-to-date and accurate information.

Side Hustles & Passion Projects
Do you have a passion or an interest? Did you know you can take that interest and turn it into a long-term project? P.S. Colleges love projects that exemplify your character!
How to Describe Your Extracurricular Activities
Writing your extracurricular activities can be tricky- you can have a lot or not that many. We cover what it consists of, how you list them and describe them to impress the college admissions team!
