FAMILY SERVICES (NGS PARENTS)
When Next Generation Scholars first began serving low-income youth, we quickly realized that educational achievement did not depend solely on what took place in the classroom.
We knew we had to address a more complex range of challenges in the community - from parents being unfamiliar with the college application process to broader issues such as child care, food insecurity, flawed immigration policies, lack of health care, unstable housing, and more.
Recognizing the need to support the entire family, we offer three family-oriented programs:
Family College
Provides parents and caregivers with the skills, resources, and tools they need to help their children access higher education and create a college-bound culture at home
Family and Community Engagement
Through partnerships with several organizations and businesses, our services include:
- Employment Assistance
- Food Resources
- Housing Resources
- Legal Assistance
- Medical and Health Support
