- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- Teens of immigrants struggle with the college application processes, as their parents may not be aware of how the U.S. education system works. Sometimes, due to a lack of knowledge in the field, parents cannot advise their teens properly on how to go through applications and obtain financial aid. The problem is further complicated by language barriers, resulting in miscommunication.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- A mentorship program that would offer bilingual workshops would serve to empower immigrant students and their parents. We would train mentors who understand the challenges faced and offer workshops: college applications, financial aid, and emotional support that families may need to overcome.
