As a nonprofit founder, I have learned that you cannot achieve your vision and mission alone. Developing a well-trained and motivated staff – what we call a “human resource infrastructure” – is a key foundation of any business.
Joe Fisher, FGCB CEO and Founder
You can help young people realize a dream that often seemed out of reach: to be the first in their families to receive a college education.
For over 30 years, FGCB has helped young people realize a dream that often seemed out of reach: To be the first in their families to receive a college education.
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.
First Generation College Bound has been approved to participate in the 2021 United Way NCA and CFC campaigns.
FGCB provides pathways thru high school and into college for low to moderate-income, at-risk, underrepresented youth that attend Prince George’s County Public Schools. FBCB operates four core and interrelated programs that are demonstrated best practices for increasing the high school graduation rate of at-risk students ensuring their success in higher education.
