The prospective parenting students will be offered a free meal and childcare during each class. Those who complete the full series of College Ready classes will be given a $125 gift card.
The series will offer:
- An opportunity to explore careers and majors offered at SFCC.
- Assistance preparing and submitting their college application.
- Help filling out a financial aid application.
- A chance to learn about options for childcare, as well as resources for SFCC parenting students.
