First Gen Success offers community for both our scholars and mentors through lasting and impactful relationships, built on the foundation of personal interactions.  Our volunteers are a motivational powerhouse, always available to provide a listening ear and an encouraging word to the students they mentor. 

​

Our dedicated volunteer mentors grow from their experiences with our scholars, enjoy the tangible satisfaction of seeing their students succeed, and gain a valuable resume asset and a network of like-minded professionals.
