"I’m First! is an online community providing first-generation college students—and those who advise them—with inspiration, information, and support on the road to and through college."
"First Gen College works to help first generation college students to and through college and beyond. We share stories, resources and offer programs to support them on their college and career journeys. We also connect students and recent graduates to professionals and career opportunities."
"Being the first in your family to pursue higher education can be daunting. Here are some encouraging pieces of advice as you enter college," writes Michelle Baik.
"I am where I am today because of the support system I had that stuck by me and never gave up, even though I wanted to give up on myself at times," writes Verlando Brown.
An open exchange of resources and information: "This page is for faculty, staff, and administrators who work with and advocate for first-generation college students at institutions nationally. The need for this page was inspired by workshops hosted by the National Resource Center for First-Year Experience and Students In Transition in 2014 and 2015. Membership is open."
"This First Generation Digital Storytelling project explores the use of storytelling and digital social media to give voice to the rarely heard narratives of First Generation college students and graduates. This project is a partnership between Jane Van Galen at the University of Washington Bothell and Class Action."
