The purpose of this workshop is to empower caregivers to discuss the value of higher education with their young youth and provide ideas for how they can play an active role in supporting their youth to college. Because when they do, research shows that youth are 4 times more likely to pursue higher education. For caregivers with youth in middle school or in the early high school grades, college can seem so far into the future that it can take secondary importance to more immediate concerns. Caregivers will learn the significance of early college exploration and preparation and key steps that they can take to help youth turn their dreams into degrees.
