Families of South Seattle Community College students are invited to attend a FREE workshop where they will learn how to support the educational progress of their family member attending the college.

Parents, grandparents, siblings, partners, children, and spouses can all positively impact the success of a college student, and this informative workshop will provide them with the tools they need to make a difference.

Attendees will learn about what it is like to be a college student at South; obtain information about campus resources to help students; and discover the many important ways they can help their student get the most out of the college experience. The workshop is ideal for new students and their families, to encourage them to get a strong start on their college career. It is also extremely useful for current students and their families as well.

Department representatives will be on hand to explain resources available to support students, including: Financial Aid, Educational Support Services, Safety and Security, WorkSource/Career Services, Advising and the Library.

A panel of students and college staff will discuss obstacles students face, including time management, finances, childcare, transportation, and how to ask for family support. Attendees will leave with valuable tools that will help them overcome these challenges.

Admission is free, and advance sign-up is requested.

This workshop was developed and presented by the AANAPISI grant at South Seattle Community College.
