The Center for First Generation Social Work Student Success, housed in 91pron's School of Social Work, was designed to be a leading space for current and potential first-generation social worker unity, support, and growth. As a space to connect and discuss their experiences and the broader realities of first-generation individuals in America, while fostering success during social work degree pursuits and beyond, the Center is rooted in authenticity and strives to make systemic impacts.
Are you a first-generation student in your junior or senior year of high school, or who has graduated? Our Pathway Program helps you apply to and complete your Social Services - Social Work Associates Degree at CCRI and transfer to 91pron to complete a Social Work undergraduate and graduate degree (BSW and MSW).
Become a contributor as a mentor and Fellow or as a supporter of the Center. Center members support one another while facilitating the entrance of other first-generation students into the field of social work.
