TGR Foundation expands career and college readiness programs, prepare students for success
At TGR Foundation, we understand that limited access to resources and information about higher education processes means limited opportunities for students from low-income communities. From monthly workshops and multi-day academies to ongoing support for our Earl Woods Scholars, we meet students where they are and provide the resources and support needed to help them reach their dreams.
This summer, as we expanded our career and college readiness programs to Philadelphia, students experienced two of our cornerstone opportunities, College Bound Academy and Pre-College Retreat.
