This workshop aims to empower caregivers to discuss the value of higher education with the youth in their care 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 and youth will learn from campus foster youth program staff the significance of early college exploration, preparation, and  key steps to help turn their dreams into degrees

This training is open to all Caregivers and they are encouraged to come with their Youth in 6th to 12th grade.

** In the registration, please comment in the “comment box” how many youth will attend with you.**
