Helping young people realize a dream that often seemed out of reach:
Being the first in their families to receive a college education
Join us in our mission to provide essential support and resources for first-generation college students, helping them achieve their academic goals and transform their futures.
First Generation College Bound is a Poverty Solution Organization
FGCB is a community-based organization which offers youth and their families a “pipeline” of educational interventions comprising academic readiness, supportive services and guidance to achieve high school graduation, college admissions and earn a post-secondary degree.
The organization functions to address the need for “outside of school” and “college access supports” to increase the number of low-income students who graduate from high school prepared for college, enrolled in quality institutions and matriculate in four years.
