Parents

The parental component of our program is very important. One of the effective ways in which the the GEAR UP College Bound program staff promotes parental involvement is through workshops held on campus. These workshops are held at various times throughout the semester on Saturday afternoons.

Some topics covered at workshops are:

Financial Aid
Grants & Scholarships
Gang Awareness
Anti-Bullying
Improving Communication Between Parent & Child
College Admission
Coping With Stress
Helping Your Child Develop Effective Study Skills
Financial Aid Information for Parents
