Dear First Gens,
In this episode of The First Gen Madrina Podcast, host Sara Diaz dives into March's theme: Supporting First Gens.
In this episode of The First Gen Madrina Podcast, we’re spotlighting organizations that empower first-gen students and professionals. With recent funding threats, it’s more important than ever to advocate for these essential programs.
We’ll discuss common first-gen challenges—financial barriers, impostor syndrome, and navigating higher education—and highlight organizations making a difference, including More Than Bootstraps, America Needs You, FirstGen United, and Generation Fearless. Plus, get a sneak peek at upcoming features on First Gen Forward, First Gen Society, and Aspire Institute.
