Resources & Workshops
If you’re a teen parent or student parent, we want you to know that education is within your reach.
Do you work with young parents or student parents? We have resources for you, too.
Our College Readiness Workshops
Generation Hope provides college readiness workshops to young parents across the region who are either currently enrolled in high school or GED programs or have recently earned their high school credential. The goal of these workshops is to inspire teen parents to consider college as a viable option. Every college readiness workshop includes information about college basics, an introduction to financial aid, and key information to help young parents understand the benefits of college. In addition, Scholar ambassadors accompany us to many workshops to tell their story of being a teen parent in college. We partner with schools, nonprofit organizations, and agencies to host these workshops at their locations throughout the D.C. region. Workshops are completely free and can be customized to the needs of your participants. *We are currently offering these in a virtual format due to COVID-19.
