A Poverty Solution Organization
For over 30 years, FGCB has helped young people realize a dream that often seemed out of reach: To be the first
in their families to receive a college education.
FGCB is a community-based organization which offers youth and their families a “pipeline” of educational interventions comprising academic readiness, supportive services and guidance to achieve high school graduation, college admissions and earn a post-secondary degree.
The organization functions to address the need for “outside of school” and “college access supports” to increase the number of low-income students who graduate from high school prepared for college, enrolled in quality institutions and matriculate in four years.
First Generation College Bound has been approved to participate in the 2023-2024 United Way NCA and CFC campaigns.
