Abstract
First generation college students struggle navigating higher education. First generation college students may experience challenges understanding the college system, which increases their stress. When first generation college students learn strategies to navigate college life such as accessing financial resources and connecting with mentors, it reduces their overall stress. As a result, I have created a one-day workshop on using college financial resources and mentor groups for AVID students at Rancho San Juan High School in Salinas, California.
