The parental component of our program is very important. One of the effective ways in which the GEAR UP College Bound program staff promotes parental involvement is through workshops held on campus. These workshops are held at various times throughout the semester on Saturday afternoons.

Some topics covered at workshops are:

• Grants & Scholarships
• Anti-Bullying
• Improving Communication Between Parent & Child
• College Admission
• Coping With Stress
• Helping Your Child Develop Effective Study Skills
• Financial Aid Information for Parents
• Academic Success for Scholars
