About this organization
Mission
First Graduate’s mission of helping students become first generation college graduates seeks to level the playing field for students who are immigrants or children of immigrants, who come from challenging economic circumstances, and who are otherwise disadvantaged in the dominant culture. We provide them with the long-term support that their more well-off peers receive so that they can be competitive high school and college candidates. This investment in their education and exposure to career options sets them on a path to build careers, not just jobs. Education is a right, not a privilege; we coach students from the summer after 6th grade through college graduation (a 10+ year journey) to help them attain their degrees and thereby help their families move out of poverty in one generation.
