Parent Workshops

Parent Workshops

These bilingual workshops provided parents with the knowledge needed to support their students in their college journey. Pursuing post-secondary education can be a daunting new chapter, so we want to

break down those barriers, empower parents, and show them that a college education IS possible for their student. Parents commit to 6-weeks of informative sessions to earn a one-time institutional scholarship of $1,000 for their student. We then celebrate their commitment to their student and their student’s college journey to come with a parent graduation ceremony!
