First Generation College Bound

The mission of First Generation College Bound (FGCB) is to inspire low income and first generation youth in Prince George’s County, Maryland to achieve social and economic success by providing advice, encouragement, and support to obtain a college degree. The TowerCares grant will support FGCB’s Homework Club, which provides homework help and academic support to students grades 1-12 in the Kimberly Gardens public housing community in Laurel, Maryland. Funds will be used for field trips, speakers, honor roll events, and the year-end celebration. Each child also receives a gift during the holiday season as many of the families are unable to afford gifts.
